I have imported contacts from Outlook 2000 to 2003 using .pst files, but.......
because of my setup I need to temporarily move some new contacts in Outlook
2003 on PC1 to contacts in Outlook 2000 on PC2.Is there a workaround using
.pst files or some other method?

Also, is there a way to save all my contact info from the Outlook 2003
contacts folder to a text file?

Thanks for any help

You can create a .PST file in the old Outlook 97-2002 format and copy the
contacts to that file, which can be used in Outlook 2000. You will get the
option to choose the old or new .PST format when you click File | New |
Outlook Data File.

Use the Import/Export wizard on the File menu and export to a file, then
choose a text file type.
