How to import contacts from Outlook Express

 

Smart Reminder can import contacts from Outlook Express. Select "Import contacts from Outlook" in the "Input/Output" menu. Smart Reminder will read for a few seconds the address book and display all the contacts and their details.

 

 

You can import the whole address book or just a few contacts. Smart Reminder automatically selects all the contacts. To select only some contacts you have to check/uncheck them (1). Only the contacts that are checked will be imported. If you want to check/uncheck all the contacts click on the "Select all" / "Select nothing" buttons (2). Unchecked contacts will have a white background, while the other contacts will have their group background color. To change a contact's group you have to click on the group's name (6) and select the new group from the dropdown. The contact's background will immediately be updated with the color of the selected contact group.

 

The contacts you import from Outlook Express can be afterwards edited in Smart Reminder. You can add photos, attach files, write notes or edit the existing information.

 

All the fields can be edited. To edit a certain field (e.g. birthday) click once on that field. A textbox will appear and you will be able to modify the content. When you have finished press enter.

The alarm field (4) is available only if the contact has a valid birthday (3). If a contact did not have the birthday filled in when you have imported it from Outlook Express, but you have manually entered it (3), the alarm field will automatically become enabled.

To finalize the importing procedure click on the "Import contacts" button (5).
