Default Sharing contacts

Is there a way to save just the contact information so I can put it on
several different computers instead of retyping all my contacts for each
computer? The computers are not networked and are on Office professional
2003.

And in addition to what Russ said, if you simply need to spread them around
once, create a new PST (FileNewOutlook Data File), copy your Contacts
folder to that file, close it with right-clickClose, close Outlook, then
put that PST on a medium you can move from PC to to PC (like a flash drive
or a CD), copy the PST to the other PC's hard drive (but don't overwrite any
existing PST), remove any read-only attribute, start Outlook, and open the
copied PST in Outlook with FileOpenOutlook Data File. The second Outlook
will then have access to the contacts folder you copied.
