Tooting my horn a little (on topic)

My addy is in the directory....

I know, and I'm kicking myself for not having it in my PDA. We were in your
neck of the woods (well, desert, anyways!) Wednesday, but I didn't say
anything because we were there for a memorial service (over on Eastern, near
Warm Springs), and my in-laws had announced that they had every minute
scheduled out for us. Ugh!

As it turns out, we got royal dispensation to cut out early ("What! You've
never been to Las Vegas?"). Argh! Why didn't I bring my addresses?

We decided to head out to Red Rock. Toured the visitor's center and were
getting ready to go back to the car to do the drive, and suddenly it's not
108 anymore, it's raining. Raining hard. And lightning. Strikes coming down
about 1/4 mile away! We had a wonderful show from the safety of the
visitor's center for about half an hour, then headed out to see the gorgeous
countryside. Wow!!!

So thank you for arranging all that entertainment when you didn't even know
I was in town!

Kathy, did your customer tell you ahead of time that she was entering your
quilt in the fair? (How was it? Did you ride the rides? Eat cotton candy?)
The reason I ask is a few years ago, I entered a quilt in the fair, under
group category, and I credited the woman who did the quilting, but I didn't
say anything to her ahead of time that I was entering it, and I'm wondering
if I should have. This year, my entry(ies) will be all my own work, but I'd
like to know for the future, if it comes up again.

Toot! Toot!

Sunday was a good day for my ego. (Monday was too, but it was also a day
from h***, so it didn't count! LOL)

One customer dropped by to say a quilt I did for her several years ago
took
Best of Show in her guild's show. A couple of hours later, another
customer
called to let me know that one I did for her not only made it into the
California State Fair this year, but took a first in group quilts. Yippee!

Guess that means I'll have to go to the state fair for the first time
since
high school marching band, when we had to march there in 105 degree
weather
in wool uniforms...

Monday I got a call from a customer -- "When my daughter picked up her
quilt, she started crying" Uh oh! What did I do???? "She loves it -- it's
so
beautiful!" Whew!!!!!

Well, she better get ready. I went so far as to READ the MANUAL, and figured
out how to import the RCTQ Directory (with addresses appropriately flagged,
so I don't accidentally give them out) into Outlook, which has now sync'ed
up with my PDA. If you are in the directory, you're with me 24/7! Bwah hah
hah hah!!!!!

(I even have all your fabric fav's in my PDA with your address, just in case
I'm inspired while I'm on the road! *evil grin*)

Ohhh Teach ME O Wise one!

Here, take my fabric as well! giggles
I would LOVE to know how you did this? Especially the flagging part. I
have an 'rctq' category for those in my contact list already. You could
reply off group if you'd rather.

What? Reply off group and risk missing out on some other grateful soul
hurling fabric at me in thanks???

Here's what I did. (I'm using Windows XP Professional and Office XP (2002).
Don't know if that makes a difference or not. Also I got the directory in
table format.)

When I opened up the directory, it opened in Word, but I didn't see a way to
import Word into Outlook contacts. However, I did see a way to import Excel
into Outlook, and I knew how to go from Word to Excel. I selected all the
columns of the table in Word, and did Table - Convert - Table to Text.
That put the table into a tab delimited file, which I saved as plain text.
(with a slightly different name in case I made a mess of it, not that THAT
has ever happened!)

Then I opened Excel and opened the plain text file. Excel asked me if I
wanted to convert it, and I followed the steps. I think everything was
default -- pretty simple, even if you've never done it. I cleaned up the
file a little, and saved it as an Excel file, again with a slightly
different name.

Then I opened up Outlook, went to the File menu, and choose Import and
Export. Outlook walks you through the steps -- I imported everyone into a
new folder in my contacts folder, and did a custom import so I could make
sure all the fields got mapped to where I wanted. (For example, Outlook
didn't have a clue where to put the screen names.) Once everyone was in, I
selected everyone in that folder, said the category was RCTQ, and then moved
you all into my main folder, since that's the only one that will sync up
with my PDA. Took all of 10 minutes to do, including reading the manual.

I still have the Excel file, and since you're in the directory, I'd be glad
to email it as an attachment if you think that would help you out.
