So I made the final jump to P3 and it shows that you can export contacts to your Outlook but when I did, it converted them to an excel file and now I don't know what to do. :confused: :confused: :cry:

Can someone please help? Thank you!!:)
 
Now you need to go to Outlook and Import. Choose Import from another file and then choose an Microsoft Excel file.
 
In Outlook go to file then import
Choose import from another program or file
Click next then choose Microsoft Excel and Click next.

I'd type the remaining step from there but the PC I am on right now doesn't have its import/export feature installed right now...
 
You can export them Outlook, but you can't export them to your personal website, yet.
