- Select File|Import Addresses. The Import window will appear.
- Choose the appropriate Word Processing type (described below).
- Enter the file name of the file you want to import, or click on the yellow folder button to pick from the directory of files. Typically these files have the extension *.TXT, *.WPD, or *.ASC.
- Click OK and the import will begin. For formats 1 and 3, the first line of each address will also become its search name. The search name in Format 2 can be different from the first line.
This option The addresses must be in the following format:
Ms. Rickee Lee Jones 247 High St. Palo Alto, CA 94301-1041 --------Page break--------Word Processing #2 Import
If your addresses have a search name as the first line of the address, use this option instead of Word Processing #1. The addresses must be in the following format:
Jones Ms. Rickee Lee Jones 247 High St. Palo Alto, CA 94301-1041 --------Page break--------Word Processing #3 Import
This option is best if you want to import a text file from Microsoft Word because it only requires a blank line after each address, not a hard page break. Word files that have been saved as Text files do not retain page breaks, so this is the only Word Processing import option that will work for Word files. The files must be in the following format:
Ms. Rickee Lee Jones 247 High St. Palo Alto, CA 94301-1041 --------Blank Line--------
