One of the seven types should be adequate formost purposes.Choose the folder you want to export from and click Next.Enter the path and filename for the exported file and clickNext. Or click Browse to locate the appropriate folder and thenenter just a filename.Click Finish. In this final window, Outlook may give you theopportunity to map fields. Generally, you won't need to change thewizard's settings unless you have very specific reasons for doingso.Outlook exports internal field names. You can change these names inthe exported file, but you can't change them before the export. Youcan use an export to learn the internal names if you decide to codethe solution later.
