For capturing someone’s attention quickly, Outlook 2016 has a feature called Mentions.When crafting an email or calendar invitation, type the @ symbol and the first few letters of the person’s name into the body. You will then see a drop-down box displaying options from your contact list. In this article I will show how you can quickly export contacts from Outlook 2016, 2013, 2010 and 2007 to an Excel spreadsheet. First I will explain how to use the build-in Outlook Import / Export function, and after that we will create a custom contacts view and copy / paste it to an Excel file.
. The Outlook for Mac will automatically create and assign categories if you have your Address Book contacts in groups. To avoid notes and photos from backing up in the VCF file, deselect the 'Export notes in vCards' and 'Export photos in vCards' options from Contacts Preferences vCard. If in Step 2, you choose the File Export Contacts Archive option, the contacts will be exported as an ABBU file instead of VCF. The ABBU format is great for importing the contacts back into a macOS application but not so great for using the address book with non-Mac programs or online email services.
