Importing contacts from Yahoo to outlook

[Joe]

I have tried unsuccessfully to import my yahoo contacts into outlook 2007. I
saved it has an .xlxs file (1997-2003 compatible) but I get a "translation
error". I am running office 2007 which I have found have compatability
issues all over the map. I have tried saving it as a 2007 .xls with the same
result. So does anyone know if the issue exists with excell or with yahoo?
Is there a way to overcome this problem? Also, can I import my email from
yahoo or is this a grievous waste of time.
Thank you in advance,
joe

if you can get your addresses from yahoo in csv format, you can import into
outlook.

How did you get outlook? In a suite without office apps or standalone?
