Can I Import my Account address list from Excel into Route XL? I do not want to type in each address and already have an Excel Spread sheet ready to import. If so how?

Yes, you can, by simply copying and pasting them:

1. In Excel copy the address list (ctrl-c).
2. Switch to RouteXL and push the top right “Import” button.
3. Paste the address list in the text field (ctrl-v).

Just make sure each line holds one address, preferably in the form:

_street housenumber, zipcode city state, country_

This method also works for many other (Office) applications, like Outlook or Word, and many different devices.
