How do I move contacts to my personal address book

[jkdaley]

Hello,
I just reinstalled the operating system on my computer and am trying to get
all my old Outlook data in the right place. Somehow I ended up with all my
contacts listed in contacts, but not available from the Personal Address
Book. I'm using Outlook 2003. Can anyone help? Thanks!

If you right-click on your Contacts filder, select Properties and then
"Outlook Address Book" tab, do you have "Show this folder as an e-mail
address book" checkbox checked?

The PAB is an obsolete address book. Normally you'd use the Outlook Address
Book which is dynamically generated from info in the Contacts folder.

Hi Andrey - This option is grayed out. Do you have any idea why that might
be? I appreciate the help!
