Hi John H. John R. here you can do that two ways if for example your going from say outlook express to microsoft outlook or the other way around.
First option: open Outlook express or microsoft outlook if your going to use any of these. a wizzard will come up asking you to set up your details and if you want that wizzard can also import addresses and messages from the other program you was currently using in to the new one you are going to be using. and that's it for that option. option 2: this is the one where you have to import it yourself look below for instructions. 1. go to your address book. not in any of the E-mail programs go via the following way: Start/All programs/Accessories/Addressbook now you are in the address book. if a dialogue comes up asking you if you wamt this as your default address book that's up to you as you may have another address book program that you like to use. 2. tab around until you hear your contacts. 3. select all, you do this, CTRL A, but once you've done this shortcut don't press up down or left/right on the arrow keys as this will unhighlight them addresses highlighted. 4. now go to the file menu, Alt F and select extract 5. it will ask you to choose what you want to extract them in to, you choose, Address book (WAB) 6. hit enter on that option now a save as dialogue will come up choose a name and location then go to the save button. 7. it will conferm that you've saved them OK. you press enter or space on OK. 8. now close the address book remembering whee it saved the address file you extracted. now how to import an address book. 1. go to and open the program that you want to import the addressbook in to 2. then to file or insert depending on the program. and then go to import then a submenu is there, go to, address book (WAB) 3. press enter on that option. 4. now a dialogue will appear press Alt I, this will jump you straight to the location field. choose where you saved the addressbook file. 5. when you've found the file just arrow on to it and press enter and it will import the addressbook file in to the program. 6. when it has finished it will conferm it with an OK box which you press space or enter on and that closes it. please note: when you've extracted the address book to an address book (WAB) file you can not open this by pressing enter on it in the saved location. also please note you can delete this file, rename it, over right it, and you can move it. please also note, don't put it on to a CD for backup as anything that it's put on to which is read only it will not import in to the program because it must tell the addressbook file where it is going and when you have a read only file you can't save changes like to it speak to you later from John and guide dog Iris ----- Original Message ----- From: John Hoschander To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, March 28, 2007 1:41 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] exporting address book between two email accounts Hi Can someone please help?
