and each line as a single field.

Importing Data to an Address Book

To use an address or data list already created in another application, you must be able to
export the list to an Excel file or a delimited file with each line of an entry separated by a
comma or tab character and each entry separated by a carriage return/line feed. The file must
be an Excel file or have a *.csv or *.txt extension. Once you have exported your list, you
can import the addresses or data into the Address Book.
The Address Book Import Wizard allows you to lay out the information you are importing
as you want the information to appear in the address or data list. Each available field in the
first record of the data appears on a separate line in the Fields list.
