Can I Move My Contact Data to Another Application?

You can move data easily among any of the Office applications, even if your data originates on a mainframe computer at corporate headquarters. You can export a list stored in any Office application, including Word, to any other Office application, in addition to copying and pasting data between applications. You can automatically create delimited text files that make it easy to import (read) a list from one Office application into another. A delimited text file preserves information about how your data is organized when you move the data to another application.
