A CSV (Comma Separated Values) file is a special type of file that you can create or edit in Excel. Rather than storing information in columns, CSV files store information separated by commas. When text and numbers are saved in a CSV file, it's easy to move them from one program to another. For example, you can export your contacts from Google into a CSV file, and then import them to Outlook.

1. Download this sample .csv file to your computer. When prompted, choose to Save the file to your computer as a CSV file. If you save it as an Excel file (.xls or .xlsm) all of the data will be stuffed into one column!

There are a few things to remember when working with this sample CSV file:

• Outlook requires column headings in the first row so don’t replace them with something else.
  The language of the column headings must match Outlook's default language. If Outlook's default language is set to Portuguese, for example, you must edit the column headings so they appear in Portuguese.
• You can delete the data in rows 2-6 (the sample names, phone numbers, email addresses, etc).
• You don't need to enter values for every column. Only enter the info you want.
• Save the file with a new name as a CSV file type (.csv). If you use Excel to work in the file, when you save it, Excel will prompt you a few times with 'are you sure you want to save it in CSV format?' Always choose Yes. If you choose No, the file will be saved in Excel's native format (.xlsx) and Outlook won't be able to use it to import data.
• Practice importing your CSV file with a few contacts to make sure you like the results. Afterwards, you can delete the imported contacts, add more to your CSV file, and import it again.
