Using OSX Address Book with Entourage

[mapel]

Since I am not connected to an Exchange Server, I have had to keep my
business contacts in my Entourage Address Book, and my personal
contacts in my Mac OSX Address Book. When I initiate a new email
message in Entourage, I would like to access my personal Address Book
and pick names from there, but when "choosing and Address Book"
Entourage only shows me the Entourage Address Book. Any ideas on how
to access my personal Mac OSX Address Book and pick multiple names
from Entourage?

If you use Entourage 2004 (>11.2.3) and Mac OS X (>10.4.2), you can enable
Sync Services in Entourage's preferences. That way, Entourage automatically
syncs data with Address Book, and if you make changes to an entry in one
application, the other one will pick it up as well.

If you do not use the latest versions of Entourage and Mac OS X, things get
more complicated; in that case, you might want to have a look at Paul
Berkowitz's shareware script collection, 'Export-Import Entourage':
