It's very easy to use reports to gather a list of contacts (or all contacts) and then export to a CSV or Excel spreadsheet.

Step 1: Run a Report

Click on the Reports tab on the top menu
Click on the Mailing List link
On Step 1: Select your report type, select Tabular Report click Next
On Step 2: Select the report columns, choose the columns you want to export and click Next
On Step 3: Select the information to summarize, click Next
On Step 4: Order the report columns, click Next
On Step 5: Select your report criteria to include the contact fields you want
When you are done, click Run Report
A report will be generated, and the page should display Report Generation Status: Complete
 

Step 2: Export Contacts

On Export Report:, for Export File Format:, choose Comma Delimited .CSV
Click Export
A dialog will pop up for you to save the export file to your computer
