Default Can I merget two winxp oe address books?

I have two computers and would wish to merge them so as to fill in blanks.
Can I do this?
How?
And will it fill in missing data on computer 1 that is available on computer
2?
Such as a cell phone number of address?

Please and thank you.

You can import one address book into another, but it's not smart enough
to combine entries.

Assuming that you don't have any groups (because groups don't export or
import), you could export both address books CSV (Comma Separated
Values) text files. Then load both CSV files into a spreadsheet. Each
contact will be a row in the spreadsheet, and each field will be a
column. Then you can sort the data, and manually combine entries and
delete duplicates. Then save that to a CSV and import into an empty
address book.
