How to copy Outlook contacts

[Brian Tillman]

I may have dug myself in a hole here. I moved all the email data
over to the new profile after setting the new default email folder.
All seems OK.

Changed the default profile to the new one and rebooted XP.

The first message I tried to send doesn't appear to find the contacts
folder meaning that is shows that the address wasn't resolved when I
click to have it check the address book.

If I go to the Contact section in outlook it lists three My Contacts
folders. The first two are copies from the old profile and the third
was the one generated when the profile was created.

Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>View or change existing directories or address
books>Next. Select the Outlook Address Book and click Remove. Stop and
restart Outlook. Click Tools>E-mail Accounts>Add a new directory or address
book>Next>Additional Address Books>Next. Select Outlook Address Book, click
Next, then Finish. Stop and restart Outlook. Now right-click each Contacts
folder you wish to appear in the Address Book, choose Properties, select te
Outlook Address Book tab, and check the box marked "Show this folder as an
e-mail Address Book" if it's not already checked.

Thanks Brian

One last thing, why is Outlook trying to save a normal.dot file? I
understand its coming from Word but why is Outlook messing around with it?

Beats me. I never use Word for composing mail.
