Hi, we have a major problem with Outlook (to the point that we cannot even
open it) and would like to obtain a copy of our address book. We would like
to import it into Excel (.csv or something). The instructions we have found
say we need to open Outlook first, which we cannot. Is there a workaround?
Hope you can help. Many thanks. Trish
