Importing Contacts into Address Book

I've never really understand the necessity for having both an "Address Book"
and "Contacts", anyway....

I installed Office 2003 upgrading from Office 2000. Now when I go to my
"Address Book" my "contacts" are not there, however they were listed under
contacts. Problem is, I cannot choose from that list (or have the auto
complete work) when choosing addresses for and email to be sent to. I
remember last time I had to do something to get this to work--Office help is
not very clear on this, I see how to convert your Personal Address book to a
contacts folder but not the other way around. I guess "other way around" is
not correct since you're not really converting the contacts to an address
book (I've never used a .pab), they just should show up there.

The weird thing is I upgraded my office on 2 different partions (I have a
W2K Server and XP dual boot, both with outlook pointing to the same .pst
file on a separate partition-I have my reasons :-) ) and it is working on
the XP partition (i.e. when I choose "Address Book" I see all my contacts
available for inserting email addresses in the "To" line)

How to do?

Thanks,
Blair

The Address Book is just a view into Contacts.

Add the Outlook Address Book service to your mail profile (Tools>E-mail
Accounts>Add a new directory or address book>Additional Address
Books>Outlook Address Book). Then modify your Contacts to enable the
Outlook Address Book view (right-click on Contacts folder, click
Properties>Outlook Address Book, check "Show this folder and an e-mail
Address Book"). Now they should be available in Address Book.
