Angry How do I transfer address list from WORD to a new Group ?

I have in a WORD document a list of 150 e-mail addresses.


Each line holds -

Name Surname <e-mail address>

How do I transfer - cut & paste - these into my Outlook "Address Book" as five new Groups ?

I really do not want to have to do each one separately !

You should reformat you Word document with commas between the various fields, thus:

Name1,Surname1,<e-mail address1>
Name2,Surname2,<e-mail address2>

which you can do via Find/Replace, replacing the spaces with commas, then save it as a plain text file with a .csv extension.

You can then use Outloook's import tools to add the data from the file as a batch. See: Import or export contacts in Outlook - Microsoft Support
