As per your instructions, I can print out my Contacts List when using a g’ood number of the Contacts but cannot print All of the list when it is highlisted by Select All. It seems that the right lick menu that comes does not have PRINT in it. Can you help? Thanks. Fran

Hi, I have followed your instructions but am having a hard time even finding the print button. Help. Thanks. Marie-Claire

I think Windows Vista Contact is a sorry excuse for an address book.
What the programers of Windows Contact call an address book is a real joke to anyone that uses a real address book program. A reall address book program would have many print options, not to mention a nice layout that would show 90% of the information you want on the very first page when you clicked on a name. They way the programers wrote this program is really sad. They could learn a lot from the old Address Book program put out by Parsons Technology. Which will of course NOT RUN in VISTA. Shame on Microsoft for a shabby program like this, that they pass of as an Address book.
In fact I think Windows Vista is a sorry program period and I am not happy that I could not have Windowsxp on my new laptop.

I cannot get the windows address book to print following
Dianas’ instructions. I agree: the Win Vista Mail address bok is a cumbersome method of storing email addresses and other information. I have my windows vista home premium in the classic mode, but should work the same.

Agree that Windows Vista Contacts is a real bummer. Outlook Express address book was much more functional.
Would have stayed with WinXP had I known this problem.

My biggest problem is that when you use Create Mail in Win Mail, then go to add addresses its now a lot of work. You have to scroll thru the entire list of addresses, hundreds in my case. This is caused because there is no option to get specific subfolders with smaller groups of addresses.

Why do they have the organise, drag and drop function if you can’t access them from the New Message window?

Obviously the programmers don’t send many emails.

After I installed Service Pack 1, I went to the Contacts Folder under my name and came up with the Contacts folder. I selected “Organize” and “Select All” which gave me a print button in the menu bar. I printed it out. HOORAY!

I’ve been having problems printing contacts, so it looks like exporting them to a CSV file and then opening it in Excel is the easiest way to do it (if you need to change the layout).

Windows Vista is the biggest PITA Microsoft ever created. THERE IS NO PRINT BUTTON ON THE HIGHLIGHTED CONTACT PAGE. Therefore, I cannot print out my email list. Even pressing ControlP will not bring up the print option.
Shame on Microsoft for creating this Contact list.

Thanks for this tip. That’s great. I used it to print to PDFreDirect and got a PDF file of my contacts.

I would love to export to Excel like user “Vista Mail” suggested. How do you think you might do that? There is no option to export or save as CSV.
