I haven’t had to do this for a long time and have forgotten since. A friend of my wife just got her first home PC with a cable modem. I use cable also and the default program is Outlook. Her address book is in Yahoo! mail that she acsesses from work, but can now, of course get to it from home. Is there an easy way to import the book from Yahoo! to Outlook so I can talk her through it over the phone? Or will she just have to retype all the old addys to Outlook? ---
