Yes, there is no real integration of Skype contacts to Outlook.
But you could also use the Skype Mail Toolbar
(http://www.skype.com/download/skypeemailtoolbar/) if you want to call Skype
contacts out of Outlook.

Thanks Roman, so it sounds like there is no "compatabilty" between Outlook
and Skype, only with MSN Internet Messenger.
Thanks for your help.

There's the question what you want to do with the skype names in Outlook.
If you just want to store them you can of course use the IM-field (the
online-status is of course only shown with MSN/WLM-addresses).

Another possibility is to use User-defined fields.
In Outlook 2007 you reach them in a contact under "Show"-"All Fields".
There you can create new fields (in your case choose "User-defined fields
in
folder") for all of your contacts, e.g. a "Skype"-field.

I know that using the Skype software I can export my phone numbers from
Outlook but can I store and export my "skype names" in Outlook? For
example
there is an IM Address section in Outlook but can this be used with
Skype
or
is it only for MSN Instant Messenger?

Thanks in advance,
