getting tab-delimited info into Outlook?

P

Pierre

Hi,

I am new to Outlook. I want to start using it as my main contacts manager.

I have set up a webpage where many of my contacts and friends will enter
their contact info in a form which will be mailed to me. I will receive
one mail per contact and the form of the data will be roughly as follows
(excerpt):

fname: Pierre
lname: Dutronc
email1: (e-mail address removed)
email2: (e-mail address removed)
phone_home: 086530098
phone_cell: 0732 8477563
phone_cell_operator: vodaphone
phone_work:

My idea was to copy/paste the data from all the emails into a single Excel
spread-sheet, having first names on row 1 and Last names on row 2 etc etc,
and then save as tab-delimited and get them imported into Outlook pretty
smoothly, basically creating one contact out of every column.

But I do not succeed, and I don't know very much about Excel either, so I
don't know where the problem lies.

Does anyone have any ideas about how I could get data such as the above
into Outlook without having to type it?

Thanks a lot!

/Pierre
