How can I export a contact group from Outlook 2010?

Took me a while to figure this out myself. You can only export files that are "address books" not contacts or contact groups.

So this is what you have to do:

  1. You open the contact group.
  2. You save as .txt (text only file).
  3. Close that file. Open Excel.
  4. Go to File - Open - go to the file folder where your .txt file is.
  5. Make sure you have chosen to show all files and choose your .txt file.
  6. Hit Open.
  7. Choose "Delimited" at the top then Next.
  8. Choose Tab at the top then Next.
  9. Choose General at the top then Finish.
  10. Open your columns to display your information.

Open the Contact Group, File -> Save As -> Text Only.
