import address book

I have tried unsuccessfully to import data from the Corel WordPerfect 8 address book format into Outlook 2000 contacts

The export format from Corel WordPerfect is designated .abx, although it is essentially just a comma separated file

One problem seems to be that the import options available under the menu in Outlook do not support Corel, etc

Does anyone know how one might take the data from the Corel address book format and convert it to a .csv format that Outlook will then accept? I need to be able to import addresses and phone numbers, not just names and e-mail addresses

I have tried creating an intermediate step of using Microsoft Excel to import the data from the Corel address book, but the columns get hopelessly screwed up, with multiple address lines going all over the place, and phone numbers coming out as numbers in the millions. There must be a better way

I can't be the only person who has ever had this problem

Thanks very much
