Importing an Address Book

You may have an address book in another program that you want to use

in the MultiPASS Desktop Manager. You can import your address book

and use it in the Desktop Manager.

You can import addresses from any ASCII text file containing

information that is separated by a comma or tab. If the fields in the text

file are separated by commas, the text file extension must be .CSV. If the

fields in the text file are separated by tabs, the text file extension must be

.TXT. You must save your text file as a comma- or tab-separated text file

before you import it into the MultiPASS Desktop Manager. For more

information about saving your text file, see your application’s

documentation. If you attempt to import information from an

improperly formatted text file, the system alerts you to a problem with

importing.

When you import the text file, you assign the appropriate field names to

each column of information. For example, the column containing the

contact’s name must be titled as the name.
