Outlook – Copy e-mail address from contact’s properties in Outlook

address-bookemailmicrosoft-outlook

I'm in an Active Directory environment (Exchange 2003). I'm using Outlook 2007. I want to copy a contact's e-mail address to another application. The display names in our organization are "Lastname, Firstname" so don't contain the actual address. When I double-click on it to open a contact's properties->E-mail Addresses tab then I can see the SMTP address but can't copy any information (tried Ctrl+C and right-clicking).

How to copy the e-mail address? There's got to be a better way than actually rewriting it letter by letter every time

The easiest way to do this would be to export all your contacts as a CSV file and then open that file up in Excel, where you can remove any columns you do not need. The other application will probably also be able to import from the edited CSV file or Excel file.

You did not mention which version of Outlook you are using, as the process of exporting a CSV file has changed a few times.
