I have a large number of addresses I need tyo get into a manageable
format i.e. useable email addresses, a latge proportion are formatted
like this: 'familiarname!<someones@somewhere>. If I copy no matter
what I do it will only paste the familiar name, the address is lost. I
have tried every combination I cam think of. I have about 800
addresses and it would be aweful if I have to manually edit them.

Any ideas?

thanks

Have you tried pasting them into Excel where you could put the familiar names
and e-mail addresses into separate columns, then importing that data back
into Outlook?
