Start a New Address Book in Outlook

If you have Microsoft^® Outlook, you can use an Address Book that you already have saved as a contacts file in Outlook.

You must activate the Use Microsoft Outlook option to enable DAZzle to communicate directly with Outlook so any address updates you make in DAZzle are made directly to the Outlook Contacts file. For more information, see Activate Link to Outlook.

Steps

If you have not done so already, activate the link to Outlook:
1. In DAZzle, from either the Design tab or the Address Book tab, select File > Preferences.
2. In the Preferences & Options dialog box, select the Address Book tab.
3. In the Data Source area, select the Use Microsoft Outlook option.
4. In the Postal Data field, specify the field in Outlook where DAZzle can save some postal data that the address verification process provides.
  Select a field that you do not currently use. For more information, refer to your Outlook setup.
5. Click OK.
  The Address Book tab displays your Outlook Contacts.
  - Important! If you have also been using other data sources for your Contacts in the Address Book tab, you must select Use stand alone format in the Data Source area to access those Contacts.

Open Outlook and create a new contacts file.

From the Address Book tab, select File > Open Address Book.

The Open Address Book dialog box prompts you for the name of the Address Book to open.
Select an Address Book and then click OK.

DAZzle automatically saves and closes your current Address Book, and then the selected Address Book appears.
