Newly installed Oulook 2003. have old Address Book and Contacts from Outlook

For a Contacts folder connect to the pst-file and copy the contacts to your
new folder;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

When they are in a pab-file use File-> Import and Export... to pt them in
your Contacts folder.

I don't understand. There is no separate Address Book in Outlook.
You can easily reuse your old Outlook data.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:
