Vista - Re: My Adress Book is all messed up !!! Help

11-12-2007

Hello!

I use the newest Version 12.0.1606 and I have the same problems like Solara.
I wrote this before but no one answered.
Another problem is that no special characters (like Ã¤, Ã¶, ÃŸ) are supported.

So I think this is still I bug. Btw, I use the german version of WLM.

Kind regards

Hi, Philipp - and Solara.

Strange. WLM had no problems importing my .wab from WinXP. I haven't tried
using a .csv file, but I've seen several users reporting success with that
method.

Many people have tried to use File | Import in the main WLM window, and that
will not work for Importing contacts. We must click Tools | Contacts, and
then File | Import. Then we have our choice of .wab, csv or a couple of
other formats.

But I don't use Contacts much, so your needs are more sophisticated than
mine and I can't help with thinks like special characters.
