Import Contact from Works 9 or Spreadsheet To Windows®

Windows Vista® utilizes new contact manager software entitled Windows® Contacts. This software replaces the Windows® Address Book and allows newer features such as adding pictures to your contacts. Windows® Contacts can import data from a Microsoft® Works 9 database or from spreadsheet programs such as Microsoft® Excel® when the data is saved in a .CSV format. The spreadsheet program in Works 9 will also work with Windows® Contacts. CSV stands for Comma Separated Values. Comma Separated Values is an old technology that predates personal computers by more than a decade. IBM OS/360 supported them in 1967.
