SUMMARY
Microsoft Outlook 98 does not support the direct import of Day-Timer 2.0
information. However, data can be exported from Day-Timer into an ASCII
delimited file, and can then be imported into Outlook.
MORE INFORMATION
Importing data from Day-Timer 2.0 is a four step process. The first three
steps define and export the data from Day-Timer.
- Define the data to be exported from Day-Timer Organizer for Windows.
- Choose the field order for the export file.
- Export the data you want from Day-Timer Organizer into an ASCII
delimited file.
- Import the Day-Timer delimited file into Outlook.
You can obtain more information on exporting an ASCII file from Day-Timer
Organizer for Windows (Steps 1-3) from Day-Timer Inc. Because Day-
Timer Organizer for Windows is produced and updated by Day-Timers Inc.,
we are unable to provide the exact steps for exporting files.
Once you have exported the data from Day-Timer 2.0, import the data into
Outlook.
Importing the Day-Timer ASCII File into Outlook
- On the File menu, click Import And Export.
- Under "Choose an action to perform," click "Import from another program
or file" and click Next.
- Under "Select file type to import from," click to select "Comma
Separated Values (Windows)" and click Next.
- In the File To Import box, type the path and file name of the file you
want to import, or click Browse to navigate to the file. The ASCII
delimited files exported by Day-Timer Organizer will have an .asc
extension.
- In Select Destination Folder, click to select the folder you want to
store the imported data in and click Next.
- Click to select "Import <filename.asc> into the <folder name> folder,"
and click Finish. This may take a few minutes and cannot be canceled.
