How can I convert *.pab files from my Personal Address book into my Microsoft
Outlook Contacts folder? Is there some kind of conversion tool?
Thank you in advance.

I've tried to import the .pab file, but none of the file type choices I'm
given work.

Click File>Import and Export>Import from another program or file>Next.
Choose "Personal Address Book"

Thank you, ,Brian, but I am not given "Personal Address Book" as a choice of
import file types. The choices I am given once I Click File>Import and
Export>Import from another program or file>Next are:

Comma Separated Values (DOS)
Comma Separated Values (Windows)
dBase
Lotus Organizer 1.0, 1.1
Lotus Organizer 2.1
Microsoft Access
Microsoft Excel
Microsoft FoxPro
Schedule+ 1.0
Schedule+ 7.0
Tab Separated Values (DOS)
Tab Separated Values (Windows)

The version of Outlook I am using is Microsoft Outlook 97. Do you have any
other suggestions?

Thanks again,
Julie

Can you export the PAB as a CSV and then import into Contacts that way?
