I am leaving the company I currently work for. I want to save my personal
address book and contact so I can load them on my pc at home. How can I do
that?

Copy your PST and take it with you. All of your Outlook data is stored
there, unless you're using an Exchange account.

Actually, a better solution would be to create a new PST and copy to it just
the Contacts folder. That way your old company can't accuse you of stealing
company data (i.e., the mail you sent and received as an employee). Outlook
doesn't use the PAB any more.

Got this off of the Help Menu iin Outlook. If this does not meet you
specific need, do a search using 'Export Personal Address Book' and you will
see a couple of different options to follow.

On the File menu, point to New, and then click Folder.
Type a name for the folder.
In the Folder contains list, click Contact Items.
In the Select where to place the folder list, click Contacts, and then click
OK.
In the Navigation Pane (Navigation Pane: The column on the left side of the
Outlook window that includes panes such as Shortcuts or Mail and the
shortcuts or folders within each pane. Click a folder to show the items in
the folder.), click Contacts, or click another private or public contacts
folder that you want to copy information from.
To copy the contacts, press and hold down CTRL and drag the contacts you
want from the Contacts folder you just clicked to the new contacts folder you
just created.
On the File menu, click Import and Export to export the new contacts folder.

Click Export to a file, and then click Next.
In the list, click the file type you want to export to and then click Next.
Follow the instructions in the Import and Export Wizard.
