What is the Address Book import file format so I can create an import file myself?
If you want to import contacts from an application not listed in the Import Contacts page, you can create an
import file yourself. You must prepare a tab- or comma-delimited text (ASCII) file using the exact header names
shown below. You don’t have to have all the headers, but the ones you include must match exactly. The first line
of the file defines the column headings, so type your headers in line 1. The actual data must follow, one line for
each row.
When you import, select the option labeled
Microsoft Outlook for PC (.txt file)
.
Here is a very simple import file sample (using the comma delimiter), in which only 4 column headings are used:
First Name, Last Name, Home Postal Code, and E-mail Address.

If I change the way I view contacts on the Web, will it also change my contact view on the
device?
No. You can set your Browse Contacts view on your device to be different from the way you view your contacts
on the Web.
