Vista - Getting Skype to access Windows Mail address book

I am trying to get Skype to go through my e-mail address book on Windows
Mail to find others who use the software. However, it only allows me the
option of Microsoft Office Mail which I don't use (though I have). Is there
an easy way to get it to access the Windows Mail contacts, or to temporarily
transfer them to Office Mail in order to be able to do so? Any instructions
on doing this will be received most gratefully!

There is no such program as "Microsoft Office Mail."
If you mean Outlook, do you have Outlook installed?
If so, try doing an Export from Windows Mail, followed by an Import
from Outlook.

Sorry, I meant Outlook. I'll try that.
