Entourage contacts to Apple Address Book

C

Craig Deutsch

Because Spotlight and other applications beside Mail call Address Book's
database (or can be made to), I'd like to keep my Apple Address Book program
up to date. Meanwhile, of course it's Entourage that stores my addresses
and contact info.

So...anyone know of a way to get Entourage contacts into Address Book? Or
is this just so simple that I'm overlooking something obvious?

Thanks.

Click to expand...

Just drag a listing from the Entourage address book to the Finder. This
creates a vcf file, and Apple's Address Book knows how to import a vcf
file (just drag a listing from the Finder into the Address Book). When
you get really adept at this, you can actually skip the Finder and drag
directly from the Entourage address book in the Apple Address Book!
Wow!!

That's the easy-but-dumb way. The smart way is to use Paul Berkowitz's
scripts which can actually keep the two address books synchronized and
can even compensate for the fact that they contain different sets of
fields. m.
