Default How do I create a contact for an email stored in autocomplete?

I have a user who, when composing an email in Outlook 2003 (on XP Pro), is
able to have the e-mail address of the recipient autocomplete. However, the
e-mail address does not exist in either the actual Contacts folder (there is
only one) or the Address Book.

How can I recover those addresses (that are evidently stored in the
Autocomplete cache???) so that they are accessible in the Contacts folder.

Our final goal is to export her addresses for use on another computer.

Thanks,
Kurt Winsley
