To import data from a text file into Microsoft Excel, follow this step-by-step guide: First, create a blank spreadsheet in Microsoft Excel and ensure you have the .txt file on your PC.

Microsoft Excel has an import wizard, but if you structure the text correctly, you can bypass the wizard altogether.

For example, you can save contact information from Microsoft Excel as a CSV file, and import it into the address book in Microsoft Outlook.

If you have a list of email addresses in an Excel spreadsheet, you can import this into a Mac Address Book by converting the Excel file into a text-based Comma Separated Value file.
