Is there a way to import contacts into PP+ ? From either a text file or excel?

I can find time at work during lunch to type contacts - but I cannot load P3 onto my computer at work. So I would like to still use the time I have to enter the contacts into excel (or something else) and load them into P3 when I get home.

I have looked a little bit on PP+, but did not locate anything.

Thanks!
Kathleen
 
No, I don't think there is. The assumption is that you'd be entering contacts as part of a show and would do it all within P3. Send a note to HO, requesting the functionality.

I will send a request to them today.

Thanks!

What should I do if my contacts do not import correctly?
