Address book

If I refresh my Office(Outlook) install, will the address book be wiped out?
If so, where is the address book so I can save it before refreshing the
installation?

No, and all data is stored in the outlook.pst file.

Thank you Milly, it's a good thing I saved the .pst file because there are NO
entries in the address book after re-installing OUTLOOK. Import/Export
returns a message that "The operation failed". How do I get my address book
reloaded?

Don't import a native Outlook file - use File->Open->Outlook Data File from
Outlook's file menu.
