Exporting multipart addresses?

[mike]

I have looked far and wide for a solution to the issue with exporting
multipart addresses from Outlook without success. I love Outlook, but
this is very frustrating. Every program other than Outlook that I've
ever used identifies separate fields for Address1 and Address2, etc.
Is there ANY way to export contacts from Outlook (2003 specifically,
but really ANY version) and have a multipart street address separated
into Address1, Address2, etc instead of Outlook inserting a <cr>
(carriage return) in the single "StreetAddress" field? We need to do
routine monthly mailing lists and the companies (we have tried several)
that we contract can't handle those <cr>'s in the fields. It ends up
starting a new row, which signals a new record that then uses what
SHOULD be Address2 as "FirstName" or whatever you have set as your
first column. Consequently we have to have people manully edit the
hundreds or thousands of addresses that have multiple lines by hand.
It's quite a time-consuming process.

I'm willing to buy software that solves this problem in an elegant and
simple manner, if it actually exists. There has to be a better way!

Thanks,
Mike Abrahamson

You may want to take a look at ContactGenie Exporter
(http://www.contactgenie.com/cgxfeatures.htm) which provides for that among
a variety of other options including GAL and GDG - Global Distribution Group
export. Currently only the Basic edition is available but the Adv/Prem
editions will imminently be available both of which include templates and
command line operation.
