There is no address book in Outlook, so I don't know what you mean.
You transfer Outlook data by copying the Outlook Data file (PST file) then
setting the new installation to use it.
The file you need to transfer 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:

OK. I guess I used the wrong term. Where is my "address list"?
