Vista - RE: Transfer Addresses from Outlook express to Vista

How do I convert the files to CSV? I am anything BUT savvy with this type of
thing... can you tell me how to do this... and pretend I'm five when you're
explaining it? I appreciate your comment here, and hope you can help me
out.

Thanks so much, Yvonne.

In Outlook Express open the Address Book.
In the Address Book click File | Export | Other Address Book and choose Text
(Comma Separated Files).
