> In **Contaxo**, tap **Word** to see your contacts as a table on real pages, choose the columns, then tap **Export**. You get a .docx file you can edit in Microsoft Word, Pages or Google Docs, for example to add a title or a note before printing.

## What you need

- iPhone or iPad with iOS 16 or later, or an Android phone with Android 7.1 or later
- The free Contaxo app (exports up to 100 contacts; Pro exports your whole list)

## Step by step with Contaxo

1. **Tap Word.** On the Home tab of Contaxo, tap **Word**. Every page of the document appears in the preview.
2. **Choose the columns.** Keep only the fields you need. The preview updates as you change them.
3. **Filter the list.** Pick one group or only contacts with a phone, an email or a company.
4. **Export.** Tap **Export** and save the .docx file, or send it to your computer to edit.

## Good uses for a Word contact list

- A club, school or church directory you can add a heading and notes to.
- A staff phone list to pin on a wall.
- A list to send to someone who will edit it before printing.

Phones and iCloud cannot export contacts to Word. Without an app you would export a CSV, open it in Excel and copy the table into Word.
