| This first method is the easiest and
probably the most useful if you are an Outlook Express user. The screen
shots are from Outlook Express 6, Open the address book
and choose "File", "Export..." then over to "address book"
to export in the WAB format, which is proprietary to Outlook Express.
This is an excellent way of backing up your address book. Back
up your address book on a regular basis if you add entries frequently. The
address book is usually small enough to store on a floppy disk.
(Note: you may not have to open Outlook Express to do this. First check for
"Address book" along the path:
[Start]>[Programs]>[Accessories]..."Address book". If it's not there, open
Outlook Express and then open your address book). |

"other address book), from either the main OE or the address book menus. |

entry box is used to navigate to the folder where your address book
file is located. . Highlight the file you want by clicking on it
and then click [Open]. Your address book will be imported into Outlook
Express. |
