Is there any option to copy any bookmark in Microsoft Edge?
I want to have some bookmarks both in Bookmarks Folder and in the Bookmarks Bar but it seems imposible. I want to have syncronized my Lumia 640 with my Pc, and have the same bookmarks in both. The problema is I am not capable of copy and paste...
However, has anyone know how the sync Works? Is it via OneDrive or Outlook Mail?, because when I change the name of a bookmark, or delete or something in the PC, the change take forever to take effect on my pone if does...
Thanks for your answers .

Is there any way to import a contact list to the Orbit if that list is in an excel file (column headings match the contacts descriptions)?
Have you tried importing into Outlook on your PC and then sync-ing with the XDA ?
No. I don't use any address/contacts list on my PC. I'll take a look at doing it this way though, thanks for the suggestion
all my contacts from my previous phone were backed up into "windows contacts" i figured this would make importing them into my Tp2 rather simple.
however i cannot seem to import the "windows contacts" into outlook 2007 to transfer them over to the device. what exactly am i missing here?
OS is Win7 Beta 7100.
There is no direct import or export.
Open Windows Contacts
Click on Export button
Select Comma Separated Values (.CSV) on the popup screen
Save the file to hard drive
Open Outlook 2003/2007
File > Import and Export > Import from another program or file > Comma Separated Values (Windows)
Locate the CSV file and import
tried that. the "import and export" setting under the file drop down is grayed out. i cant even create a new contact under the contacts portion of Outlook.
ideas? i'm trying to use Google sync. but jesus, why is this such a dam hassle?
can you not drag your contacts out into a folder, then drag them into outlook?
The instructions are for my Office 2003, your Office/Outlook 2007 may differ
- go to Control Panel > Programs and Features (Add/Remove Programs on Windows XP or older), select Office/Outlook 2007 and click [Change]
- click the Add/Remove Features radio button, click [Next]
- check "advanced customization of applications"
- click and expand Microsoft Office Outlook to show submenus
- click and expand "Importers and Exporters" and make sure Text (DOS) and Text (Win) are installed (i.e., Run from my computer)

Try create a new user profile. Delete the old one if the new one works.

It will only import as an attachment in a new empty Contacts entry
now i can add contacts, but only one at a time. what gives?
I like to have 30+ bookmarks and prefer to organise on to folders. Opera 10 on my HD was superb. Any apps to achieve similar for the Desire?
You can create folders on the home screens and save bookmarks in them if that helps?
@ Firedup, thanks. That helps.
Another work round that I have found is to export my bookmarks from Chrome to Google Docs. I can then open Google Docs in the Desire brwoser and bookmark the Google Docs folder page. I then have access to all my PC's bookmarks from Desire. Not very elegant but it seems to work. But anyone know how to import the bookmarks from Google Docs?
One thing that is very handy is to use GestureSearch from google labs: http://gesturesearch.googlelabs.com/
You simply draw the letters with your fingers on the screen.
Ie, if you wanted to find a link to this page, you start by drawing an O with your finger, then and r then a g - and b then it would probably be displaying your bookmark.
I have a folder of Google/Chrome bookmarks that I would like to transfer to the phone's local set of bookmarks. I'd rather use local bookmarks on the phone because the folder of bookmarks I'd like to use is nested from the root directory (if you know what I mean), and it's sort of a pain to have to hit the folder each time I'd like to access the folder's contents.
So, is there an app that can simply copy a folder of bookmarks to the local set of bookmarks?

You don't need an app. You can do it in the settings for the browser that comes with the phone. Just go to bookmarks and view your Google/Chrome bookmarks.
Hmm. I sort of expected I wasn't being clear enough.
OK, in the default browser's bookmarks section, you have two subsections - Google account bookmarks and local bookmarks.
The Google account subsection always defaults to the root directory and does not remember the last-accessed subfolder. The root directory mirrors Chrome Desktop's shortcut bar. I have a folder of mobile-optimized websites. It is this folder that I would simply like to copy to the *local* bookmarks subsection.
The reason is that only then, by selecting the *local* bookmarks as default, all my mobile-optimized bookmarks appear in the root directory. It's simply about faster access, and I'd rather not have all my mobile-optimized bookmarks occupying my Chrome Desktop's shortcut bar.
Does that make sense?
Is there a way to import a bookmarks html file into Chrome? I've been using Xscope on my other devices for a while and have an exported bookmark file. Xscope sucks on JB. I'd give Chrome a shot if it imports bookmarks... otherwise onto AOSP or Dolphin or Boat.

Chrome syncs your bookmarks with your google/gmail account. you could move the html file to your desktop and import them into Chrome on Windows or Mac and then it SHOULD sync to your account thus showing up on your phone/tablet
I don't use Chrome, but I do have it on my pc. I had imported all my FF bookmarks to it and don't want that many. I'll decided whether to delete them all and reimport the html file... I was just hoping there was an easy way on the N7.
I tried file:\\\mnt\sdcard\bookmarks.html and Chrome opens that file. But when I save that link as a bookmark, it won't open it from the bookmark (this works in Xscope and Boat). I may just do home screen shortcuts...
Make sure you sign in with your Google / Gmail to Chrome on your computer. Chrome will then automatically upload your bookmarks to the cloud.
They should then be available on your N7 under bookmarks / desktop bookmarks.
