Hi group,
 

I am new to this list so let me say thanks for your efforts in advance.

Here is my question"

 

            I have tow computers, they both have office 2003, both running
windows 2003.

 

            I create a set of contacts in outlook give them a category of
some type - lets us test 

            I have 5 contacts listed under test when I sort them by
category. 

            I high-light them all and past them in to excel. I use past
special and the email address ends up in a column of its own

            And I can now past the list of email address with the category
test into a mail list of some type. 

            This all works great on my laptop!

 

            When I do the  "same thing" on a second system the past special
puts all the contact information in one cell.

            So I end up with 5 rows of data all in one cell each.  This does
not let me cut the email address out to put them in the 

            Email list I need to make.

 

            What can be different on the second computer?  I have Googled
past and excel and don't see any thing that looks helpful

 

            Any comment or thoughts would be greatly appreciated  

 

Thank you 

 

Paul H
