Default Can I import a cvs or wab address book to outlook?

I am trying to bring files from my old computer to the new one. I can not
figure out how to get the personal files or the address book from one
computer to the other. Both have Microsoft Office 2007

Answer is posted here daily. You would never import. Why would you imagine
that a CSV file or WAB is in play? Outlook uses neither.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

You need to copy the Outlook.pst file from the old computer to a flash
drive (or other medium) and then copy/move that to the hard drive of
the new computer.

You can then OPEN it (File - Open - Outlook Data File) with Outlook
2007 on the new computer.

Thanks to both of you. Appreciate it. This old lady is learning slowly, but
