Importing Contacts 2003 to 2007

OK. I tried opening it in word, and it opened, but it looks like a bunch of
garbage. I went ahead with the other steps thinking it might straighten out
later but I MUST be doing something wrong because I get nothing but symbols.

Is there a way I could send you screen prints of what I see as far as the
different windows that pop up? There's A LOT to describe.

Gordon -
I clicked on the link and the link on the page to go to the download
didn't
work. Is there somewhere else I can get that?



Apparently, you can open a PAB in Word. You could then save as a text file
and open that in Excel and save as a CSV.

I'm afraid I'm getting a bit lost here - I've never had to deal with this
type of problem. You may have to just accept that all your contacts are
gone, and you may have to just start to rebuild them. I would suggest that a
PAB file of the size you describe might not contain very many anyway...
Sorry!

OK. No big deal. I originally started this to get a certain contact off of
there but I have since been able to get his information again. Thanks for
giving it the "old college try"!! I appreciate it.
