TIP Import/Merge supports .CSV, .VCF, and .ADR files for merg-

ing. You may import files that are of the same format as those created by the Export command on the File menu. You can edit the file with any editor to create the comma delim- ited file. There are database and spreadsheet programs that use comma-delimited text and will make the job easier should you have many addresses to convert The format of a comma delimited text file is shown below.

"PersonName","PagerType","PagerPIN","Fax","Home- Phone","WorkPhone","Email","Notes"

For example:

"John","SkyTel Two Way","7388281","","","", "smith@5617383281","",

Note that fields that you don't have information for may be skipped by adding "",. After your address book data has been converted into this format, use the Partner Address Book and select File/ImportMerge and navigate to the .csv file that you created, and select it. The file will be opened and displayed in the Partner Address Book application.
