I spent some time trying to figure out how to export contacts to comma separated values (CSV) on my Mac. This was in preparation for sending out Christmas cards.
On the Export menu, it only mentions you can export to vCard, PDF, or to an Archive file. I looked around for a programmatic way to do it, and found some possibilities, but everything seemed too complicated.
After some experimentation, I figured it out. All you have to do is:
- Select a bunch of contacts in the left column. (Hold shift while clicking to select multiple contacts.)
- Copy them to the clipboard
- Paste into new Numbers spreadsheet
- File > Export to CSV
Easy!
