Importing adresses

[Peter (PJ) Williams]

Can anyone tell me how to import all of my addresses from the Mac Address
Book (panther OS X ) into Entourage. It seems bizarre that it isn't one of
the programs included when you click on 'import addresses' in Entourage.
Any help appreciated.

Simply drag and drop all your contacts (Cmd+A to select them all) from
Address Book into the address book component window of Entourage.

If you use some of the more obscure fields, or lots of phone fields, you'll
find that that method gets quite a bit wrong and leaves many fields out.
It's OK for name, company, home and work addresses, home and work phones,
email addresses, and some others.

If you need better fidelity for some of the other fields (including phone
fields), use my script Sync Entourage-Address Book 2 [PANTHER] from

MacScripter.net <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/>

It's free for 14 days so you can do a one-time import for free.

Hi,

Try the following troubleshooting steps.

1)Select all the address in Address book and export it as VCard & save it on
to the desktop.
2)Open Entourage and select Address Tab
3)Select VCard which is saved on the desktop & do drag & drop onto the
Address window in Entourage

Hope this resolves your issue.
