Transferring address book and contacts list

[David]

I've just bought a laptop and want to transfer my outlook address book to
it. But I can't find any export functionality for this [the export button
under file is greyed out].

I'm using office 2000 on the desktop and 2007 on the new laptop.

Help appreciated. Thanks
D

On the desktop, close Outlook. Find your pst file. Copy that to your new
Laptop. (Do NOT overwrite any existing pst file). Remove any read-Only
attribute. Then in Outlook 2007 do File-Open-Outlook Data File. Navigate to
where you copied the old file to. You then have two options: either drag all
your data from the old file to the new, or, if you have a great deal of
data, just set the old file as your default delivery location via Control
panel-Mail.
