3/1/04 Exporting Outlook address book
Question
I just got laid off. How do I move my Microsoft Outlook address book at work to my Outlook Express address book at home?


Answer:

Exporting Outlook to Outlook Express--

Well, the answer is easier than it seems, but follow these steps and you should have most of your contact information. I say most as sometimes (esp. if the export doesn't run smoothly), a field or 2 gets lost in translation.

1. Open outlook and click on file/import and export
2. Click on Export to a file/next
3. Click on Comma Separated Values (Windows)/next
4. Select Contacts/next
5. Name the file/next
6. Map Custom Fields if desired and then click finish.

Copy the file to a floppy or e-mail (or whatever) and when you get home, then do the following--

0. Copy the file to a easy to get location (like the desktop)
1. Open Outlook Express and click on file/import/Other address book
2. Click on Text File (Comma Separated Values)/Import
3. Browse to file or type in if you know the exact location/next
4. Select which fields you want imported/finish

Voila, contacts imported.
