Where are contacts kept?

A friend had his system mess up to the point where he has to reformat the
drive and reinstall the OS. He is able to access the files on the hard drive and
wants to back up his contacts (He isn't the sort who backs things up). Where
are the Entourage contacts kept in his user folder? This would make it easier
for me to back things up as well.
thanks,
Mike

All of his Entourage data is kept in user/documents/Microsoft User Data
folder. The next folder depends on what version of Entourage he used. It
could be Office 2001 Identities, Office X Identities, or Office 2004
Identities. Then it would continue to the particular Identity (i.e. Main
Identity, where there will be several files. These files are the data from
Entourage, i.e. his contacts, messages, calendar, etc.

His best avenue would be to simply copy the entire Microsoft User Data
folder.
