The Address Book is saved as a file with the file extension ".wab". You can export this file for use on other computers and with other e-mail programs. For example, if you use Outlook Express and want to share your Address Book with a friend who also uses Outlook Express, you can export the Address Book from one computer to use on the other.
To export an Address Book:
- Click Addresses to open the Address Book.
- Click the File menu, point to Export, and then click Address Book (WAB).
- In the Select Address Book File to Export to dialog box, choose a location where you want to save the file.
- In the File Name box, type a file name.
- Click Save.
- Click OK.
If you are using Outlook Express for the first time after having used another e-mail program, you can import the contact information stored in that other program.
To import contact information from another program's address book:
- Click Addresses to open the Address Book.
- Click the File menu, point to Import, and then click Other Address Book.
- In the Address Book Import Tool dialog box, select the address book or file type you want to import.
- Click Import.
- The remaining steps will vary depending on the type of address book you chose.
