Outlook... sooooo close....
Jul. 25th, 2020 01:53 amToday I worked with a very recent version of MSoft's Outlook. I will say that the overall "Office" program is quite good now, and the setup went more easily than I've seen in years!
However, it still has some quirks they've overlooked... ;P
Microsoft are you listening?
As some of you may have done, you you know that importing a .CSV file generally means lining up the column maps from the source to the destination. So why did it take so long to import the Contacts?
Well, Outlook "says" that the column for Email is Email, but after you poke around a bit, you will discover that what they REALLY mean is E-Mail, and without the dash, the whole thing goes kablooie and you get an incomplete import. Oh by the way, where do you find Import? Why, under the Export button of course!
Soooooooo... there's still some eye-rolling face-palming idiocies they need to refine before it's smoother sailing.
