Default How do I import the Windows Address Book in Outlook?

I have all of my contactss from the Windows Address Book in my Outlook 2003
Contacts folder. However, I would like to be able to access these -- or
certain, selected -- contacts from the Address Book, preferably from the
Address Book icon residing in the top menu bar of Outlook 2003.

How can I do this?

If you have Contacts in the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when
you click on the To button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If this is grayed out...

Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add
it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.
