Export Addresses from the Address Book

Use the Export command to copy, share, backup, or export selected addresses from your DAZzle Address Book. The export command creates delimited text files, which you can import into other applications, including other installations of DAZzle. If you have DAZzle Professional, you can also export addresses to XML format text files.

Steps

On the Address Book tab in DAZzle, select one or more addresses.

Tip! You can also use the Select command to select and print all addresses, only verified addresses, or only non-verified addresses. To export a copy of all addresses, select Edit > Select All.

Select File > Export.
In the Select Export File dialog box, select the folder in which to save your export file.
In the File name field, enter a filename that will help you identify the file, such as "Chris Smith addresses as of 14 February 2011".

Do not use slashes or symbols, but hyphens are OK.
In the Save As type field, select either:
- Text, Delimited
- Text, XML Format (available only if you have DAZzle Professional)
Click Save.

After backing up the files, DAZzle indicates how many addresses were exported and to what file.

The text file that you exported is a backup of the addresses only, not of the Address Book. To restore the backup, create a new standalone Address Book in DAZzle and then import this text file into the new Address Book by selecting File > Import.
