To read data from word file and transfer it to outlook contacts

To read data from word file and transfer it to outlook contacts

To read data from word file and transfer it to outlook contacts

(OP)
Hello:

I have a big MS Word file with data written in following way

Designation: BA, MA
Chapter: VANCOUVER ISLAND
Member type: Corporate_Employee
email: XXXXXXXX@shaw.ca
Organization Type: CONSULTING

I have to transfer that to Contacts feature of Outlook express

Please tell me can I write a program which reads the data from word file and transfer it to appropriate blocks in the Contacts feature of Outlook Express

I am interested in MATLAB because this is the only software I have access to right now

I will be grateful

RE: To read data from word file and transfer it to outlook contacts

>  This should be posted on Tek-Tips.com, since they specifically have an Office products forum

>  This requires some additional finagling, since Outlook does not come out of the box with your categories

>  Are you referring to Outlook and not Outlook Express?  Outlook Express 6 does not have contacts feature.

>  This can probably be done in Visual Basic for Applications, which comes with Outlook and Word

>  What does this have to do with Matlab?

TTFN
