please help keeping contacts in order...

Post subject: please help keeping contacts in order... I had to get my q replaced, and reinstalled outlook XP and now I can't remember how I had it set up....

here is the deal: I have my phone book on outlook, and sync it to my q with active sync and all is good. on my old outlook, I had a second address book (located under the "my shortcuts" tab) that I somehow imported an excel file with all my old palm contacts. This DIDN'T get synced to my phone which is how I wanted it.

the thing I can't figure outhow to do is when I went and clicked on the excel file shortcut it DIDN'T open the excel file, but a new outlook style address book with those palm contacts formatted on address cards like the normal outlook phonebook.. (meaning it was not a true excel shortcut, but somehow I had managed to import the contacts into outlook, but in a seperate file/folder than my regular contacts..)

can anyone help me set this up again?

thanks!
