SUMMARY
Outlook currently does not support the direct import of Day-Timer 2.0 information. However, data can be exported from Day-Timer into an ASCII delimited file, and can then be imported into Outlook.



MORE INFORMATION
Importing data from Day-Timer 2.0 is a four step process. The first three steps define and export the data from Day-Timer.


 * 1) Define the data to be exported from Day-Timer Organizer for Windows.
 * 2) Choose the field order for the export file.
