I'm on a Mac at home and a PC at work. I need to copy my Mac's Entourage Address Book entries to my work PC's Outlook Contacts. My employer won't allow alteration of its network Address Book, but I do have the ability to input to Outlook's Contacts. I know that I export data from Entourage, but I'm looking for a set of complete instructions including how to get the data into Outlook. Thanks.

Your best option is to select export as a .csv file.

Your Entourage "Address Book" is not the same as your "Contacts" listed
under your Exchange account.

Switch to the Calendar view and twiddle open the disclosure triangles
for On My Computer and your Exchange account.

Select all your contacts in "Address Book" under "On My Computer" and
drag them to "Contacts" under your Exchange account. This will sync with
your Exchange server and they will appear in Outlook.

Hope this helps!

I am not sure what you mean by drag them to your exchange account?
can you please clarify

Where did this question come from? I see no particular reference to dragging
in either of the other two messages. FWIW, it's always best to start your
own thread when asking a question.

Another easy and not so tedious way is using Yahoo Mail. If you don't have an account it may not help but hit's really simple. All you need to do is export your Entourage Address Book as Vcards (.vcf) & save the file on your desktop or wherever you'll find it quickly. Then under the "Contacts" menu in Yahoo, import the .vcf file. Once you've done that, export your address book from Yahoo Mail to Outlook. Save that file on a flash drive and import it to Outlook on your PC.
