    Anyone know of a good Outlook add-on that can "grab" contact information?

    The Linked Toolbar used to do this; id get an email, highlight the sender's signature, press "grab" and it put all of the info into the correct fields, and give me the option of saving that person as a new contact.
    That add-in though keeps crashing my system.

    Anything else like that on the market?

    Hi there akwit.

    Do you mean the Linkeldn toolbar?

    I have never used Linkeldn tool bar but I think Plaxo might be an alternative.

    Have a look here;

    Plaxo

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks, but considering that I already use exchange, I dont really need an online contact-database, more just a tool that allows me to "grab" contact information and import into Outllook.

    How do people copy signature information into Outlook?

    Does everyone do it manually?

    Finally found what I was looking for: Copy2contact.

    An amazing add-on that can "grab" from a variety of text sources and put them not only into your contacts, but your calendar, memo and to do's as well.
