How do I share the contacts I have in Outlook with MSN Messenger? There's over 300 contacts in Outlook and I don't want to have to type them in individually.

Any ideas????

I think I understand what you want to do, although I don't think (I may be wrong) MSN Messenger has its own address book facility. However, if you have a Hotmail addy, I believe you can transfer all your addresses from Outlook to Hotmail. IMO that isn't a good idea because it will be stored on a website, and they are not always secure.

However, if it's that you want to add all the addresses in Outlook as contacts, you will probably have to add each one separately, because each addy has to go through the confirmation process.

Just another thought, you can link Messenger to Outlook by going to Outlook, Tools, Options, and then click on the Other tab.

Dunno if all this will help.
