How to Convert Excel Mailing List to vCard

Excel spreadsheets are an easy way to create and organize mailing lists. However, it can be tricky to move such a mailing list into an e-mail or address book program such as Microsoft Outlook. While it is not possible to directly import Excel spreadsheets into Outlook, it is possible to convert the Excel document into a vCard, which can be imported into numerous programs. By converting your mailing list to vCards, the individual contacts can be easily e-mailed or transferred to another computer.
