Export Friend’ Information

Ripplex Address Book's data can be exported in CSV format. The exported items are mapped into Microsoft Outlook items for easy import into Microsoft Outlook or any other tools. You can also copy these items to the clipboard for saving them in a file or to paste somewhere else.

1) Select the friends you want to export from Ripplex Address Book. If you want to export all friends' data, then you do not need to select since that is the default.

2) Select [File] > [Export...] from the menu to open the Export Wizard.

3) To export only selected friends, please select "Selected Friends". To export all friends, please select "All Friends" and then click "Next". The text encoding is pre-selected for you and in general, you need not change that selection.

4) In the next window, you can select the mapping between Ripplex Address Book items and Microsoft Outlook items. Ripplex Address Book's data appears on the right hand side. Since there can be more than one item of a given type (e.g. more than one emails) or more than one way to map an item (e.g. name can be first name or last name or combination of the two), the Ripplex Address Book items appear as pull down menu with several choices. A particular choice is made for each item but you can select a different item from the pull down menu.

You can also choose to not export a particular item by selecting "Do not export", as shown below.

Note) Microsoft Outlook item in gray indicates that there is no corresponding field in Ripplex Address Book. For example, middle name and email type are such items in the example above.

5) Click the arrows on top left of the screen, and you can set the other friends export item.

6) On the top right, there is a number indicating how many items are not being exported. If you scroll down to the items that have "Do not export" selection made for them, you will see some of the items that are not being exported. You may choose to map them to the export fields of your choice. In the example below, three items were not being exported.

As an example, after selecting the "Spouse" item to "Keywords" one of the three items are now being exported.

7) Click "Export" button to export the items. You can also click "Copy to Clipboard" to save the data for inserting into another software application like Excel or Word.

8) Select the location and name for the file to export the data and then click "Save" button.

9) When export is successfully completed, you will see the message window as shown below. Click "OK" to exit the Export Wizard.
