Contacts.
Match the columns of your exported file to the corresponding
5.
contact details fields (Fig. 5.4-B, .csv shown). Click Con-
tinue.
NOTe: You can simplify the matching process by removing un-
necessary fields from your exported .csv file by opening the file
in a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel and deleting
empty columns. In the .csv file used for Fig. 5.4-B, all columns
but First Name, Last Name and Email address 1 were deleted.
MyContacts will import contacts from Windows .csv files export-
ed from any email program. Mac users, be sure to save your file
as a Windows .csv file.
