Import Address Book from Outlook Express into Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 on another computer


You cannot import the Address Book (.wab) directrly into Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 on another computer, because Outlook 2007 can’t use the file (.wab).

Now, I’ll tell you the other way to import it. But take an attention that the groups of Addresses will not be maintained.

  1. Export Address Book from Outlook Express as .wab file and close the window.
  2. Memorize the name of Address Book which you are using and rename it something different. (Your Address Book is placed in “%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book”.)
  3. Place exported Address Book to “%SystemDrive%\Documents and Settings\(user name)\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book” and rename it the name that you memorized at 2.
  4. Open Outlook Express and Open Address Book. You can see All Addressed.
  5. Export Address Book as .csv file.
  6. Import .csv into Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.
