Exporting Address Book Data

[Previous] [Next]

To move the data in your Address Book to another program:

1. Open the File menu and choose Export, Other Address Book.
2. Select the export option you want and click the Export button.
3. If you selected Microsoft Exchange Personal Address Book the data is exported. If you selected Text File (Comma Separated Values), you must supply a name for the export file. (Address Book stores the file in My Documents by default. If you prefer a different folder, click the Browse button and navigate to that folder.)
4. In the CSV Export dialog box, select check boxes for the fields you want to export. Then click Finish.

Most other programs that you might use to record contact information can import Address Book's CSV file.

TIP

As an alternative to exporting from Address Book to CSV and then importing CSV into another program, check to see whether the other program can import an Address Book (WAB) file directly.
