You're almost there. Save the DL as a .txt file. Open it in Notepad and delete the first few lines, so that you're left with only names and addresses. The result will be a tab-delmited text file that you'll be able to open in Excel and save as a .xls file.

I have 100 contacts in my outlook address book (contact folder?)
I want to export 25 of them into an excel file to import into another
application

I do not want to export everyone in my contacts. I only want to export 25
specific contact entries. Coincidentally, I have all of the people I want to
export grouped into a distribution list - which apparently doesn't matter.

I want to export the contacts from a distribution list in outlook. Can
I
select a specific list, or am I stuck exporting all contacts only?
