How can i export my contacts from Outlook for Mac 2011 to gmail?

The help instructions tell me to go to File, select Import & Export.  But I can't see an Import & Export selection.  The Import selection is separate from the Export selection.  And what follows bears no relation to the Help instructions.

Can anyone help, please?

After installing and later reinstalling Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 on my new MacBook Pro, my Outlook worked fine.  

However, yesterday I reinstalled again using the same DVD on the same computer and Outlook now no longer works.  

It says: “Could not change to that identity. An unknown error has occurred in Outlook”.  

When I press "OK", it then tells me to "Select an identity".  

There is only one identity showing, which is "Main identity".  

When I press "OK", it goes back to the previous error message, and so on, backwards and forwards between the two messages, and Outlook never opens.  

Can anyone help? Thanks.

can't find anything (malware, spyware etch) using kaspersky, mcAffe or norton.
Suddenly all one-day, annual and other recurring events like birthdays were duplicated in my Outlook 2011 after a sync.
I spend hours cleaning the calendar and when I sync again... after a couple of syncs again they are duplicated!!!
I also try rebuilding the identity and... the same problem...
Besides, iTunes syncing is way too slow and is taking a long time to sync calendar and contact... maybe there is a corrupt file somewhere...
any thoughts????

spell check 2011

In Office for Mac 2011, is there a way to set Outlook so outgoing  notes are automatically spell checked, similar to the feature in Outlook for Windows?

Call me crazy - I autoupdated to 14.2.2 and now my Outlook files are gone.  I've attempted to rebuild the identity and then open up Outlook, but still no files.  I have 4 different identities now, but I do not know which one to keep.  I have followed the directions here multiple times and still no email - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2702740

Can anyone help me?  I would hate to lose all of my data :-(




Like in the microsoft office for PC, when you receive a meeting request with a time that you are busy, in outlook pc you have the option to propose a different time when you reply to the sender and with Outlook mac 2011 up to date I can't find it.

Best regards,

I see that my question is similar to one that was posted about moving Live Mail:

Moving live mail messages to another computer via external hard drive

They said:

- I need to export my live mail messages to another computer. I used to do this with outlook express under XP without a problem, by physically copying...

 

Anyway I have Windows Mail, I get the same problems with property loss when trying to back them up and then  the .eml files can't be imported properly.

Is there a download I need?

Thanks for your help,

Having moved over to Mac and lived a crash-free existence for the last 2 years, the down-side is/was losing Outlook. 

So ‎I spent some money and bought Office:Mac 2011 because it has Outlook (finally) and all Mac/PC arguments aside Outlook is the best mail/calendar/notes/tasks integrated package. iCal and Mail are still in clunky land. But.... Miserable Bill and his team won't let Outlook for Mac sync with iCloud, nor can you do any kind of work-around. Import, yes, sync, no. I got my hotmail calendar to subscribe to iCloud, then tried to get Outlook to sync with that. No dice. Thank god I only paid the academic price... and a wasted afternoon... Come on Bill, it's such an obvious thing to want, and how hard can it be?

What's the point in having Outlook for the Mac and then forcing it to live in splendid isolation?

Talk about disappointed... of course you don't find out until after you've spent the money... 
When I was an Outlook on PC user, I frequently received meeting requests, then accepted them and then used that same meeting in my calendar to invite additional staff members I need to support that meeting.  Is this possible in Outlook for MAC 2011?
