Vista MS Mail-- How to add Address Book from OE

Hopefully I'm not asking a recurring question, but what's the exact process
for adding OE contacts to the Vista MS Mail program (or is it the "Contacts"
program)? I've saved an exported file of contacts from OE Address Book onto
a flash drive -- it's a ...wab file. What next? Thanks.

Put the WAB file in your Documents folder and use the Import button on the
Contacts toolbar.

Cal Bear.......

That's simple enough. I had thought the .wab file had to be converted to a
..csv file, or something. Thanks.

for some people the CSV works better than the wab.
you have to export it as csv.
