Importing contacts from a Microsoft Excel CSV (comma-delimited ASCII) file into WinFax PRO 10

Importing ASCII files .TXT and .CSV files into WinFax PRO 10 phonebook:

To import an ASCII, .TXT or CSV file, you must first create a WinFax PRO phonebook. To import the file:

1. In Message Manager, click File, point to Import, and then click Phonebook. The Import Phonebook Wizard appears.
2. Select ASCII from the Format drop-down list, and then click Next.
3. Click Select, and change the files of type to “Comma separated values (*.csv)” and browse to the location of the CSV text file. Select the file, click Open, and then click Next.
4. Select the separator from the drop-down list. If the first row of the file is data, and not a column heading, click Import First Row, and then click Next.
5. Match the fields on the left side to the Phonebook fields on the right side, and click Next.
6. Select the phonebook into which you are importing the data, and click Finish. The CSV file is imported. A summary screen appears when the import is finished. You might also encounter an “Import file mismatch” message when trying to import a phonebook. This is due to incorrect linking or ordering of the phonebook fields.

IMPORTANT: If you have your database file open in another application, such as Excel, an error message may appear when you attempt to import the data. Close down all applications that may have your data open, including Excel before performing the import.
