Had Outlook 2002-now 2007-want old addresses back

[Guest]

I am working with a user that had Outlook 2002. She had many individuals in
her Personal Address Book. In the past, when a user has gotten a new
computer, all I had to do was to locate the PAB file, then copy it to the new
computer into the correct directory. Once the user opened Outlook on the new
computer, the addresses then appeared. Now that our new computers are coming
with Outlook 2007, I do not see a way for me to copy the old PAB file over
and have it pull up the addresses that were contained in Outlook 2002. The
contacts are pulling up like they should automatically, but I do not see how
to get the old personal address book in Outlook 2007. We have many users who
used the pab extensively. Any assistance is truly appreciated.

Pab-files are being considered legacy for many versions already. Support has
been added only for backwards compatibility. With Outlook 2007 you can
import your pab-files into your Contacts folder.

Thank you. I was able to import the pab file and those individuals are now
showing up in Contacts. Thanks for your time!
