How can I transfer Address Book data into an Excel spreadsheet? I
think the question I am really asking is how to manipulate vCards. I
can go via FileMaker Pro if need be but hope there might be an easy way.
Typing it in is a last resort of course!

we did this one not very long ago, Severin. Try:

it will convert your vcf export to a csv file that you will open in
