The Office Accelerator Outlook Sync is an add-in feature used to sync your Office Accelerator contacts between Outlook and Office Accelerator. The sync is designed to work with your Microsoft Outlook personal contact list, stored locally on your hard drive in a .pst file. Its purpose is to simplify importing data from Outlook to Office Accelerator. Once your Outlook data is synced to Office Accelerator, you should use Office Accelerator to enter all of your contacts. To enable the Outlook Sync add-in, follow the directions below.
