Outlook Contacts On A Flashdrive

Select Import and Export from the File menu. Choose Export to a file and click Next. From the list of file types choose Personal Folder File (.pst), and click Next. Select Contacts from the folder tree and click Next. Save the exported file as a file on your flash drive. I don’t think the “duplicates” options are important here, so just click Finish.

Now you will be able to open the PST file on another computer that has Outlook installed. If you need to have the ad-dresses in hand even when Outlook is not available, go through the export process again, but save as a Microsoft Excel file. Then do it once more and choose Comma Separated Values (Windows). This last format is a plain text file that you can  open in Notepad and search even on a bare-bones Windows computer.

Teach Outlook to Spell Your Name

The task owner shows up in a variety of places, most commonly in the Owner column when you list tasks By Person Responsible. The name shown there is the same as the name for the corresponding e-mail account, so you’ll definitely want to correct the spelling. Select Tools | E-mail Accounts from the menu, choose the option View or change existing e-mail accounts, and click Next. If there are multiple accounts, choose the one you normally use and then click the Change button. Correct the spelling in the Your Name box, click the Next button, and click the Finish button. This won’t fix the tasks that already have the misspelled name, but all new tasks will show the correct spelling.
