I have Office 2019 for Mac, and want to use Outlook, but I am having trouble importing my contacts list.
The Import wizard is dumb, and will only accept Outlook for Mac archive files (.olm), Outlook for Windows archive files (.pst), or Outlook 2011 data on this computer. I have Apple's Contact app and Powermail, which can export LDIF, LDIF for Emailer, Tabulated text file, and Apple Address Book. Anybody have any suggestions on how to get the addresses imported?
In my case, running Mojave, opening the address book via the button on the ribbon shows only a search function. There is no apparent way to even input a name and address.
There is a contact list, accessed by switching to the "people" button, but again, this function is almost useless as it will not accept "copy and paste" mail addresses. Everything must be typed in, one by one, with no import function that I can find. Microsoft can't implement "copy and paste" in a Mac application? Really?!
It is difficult to realize that a major suite like Office actually does not have an address book!
