I am trying to export a contact list from my work computer office 2003 to my
home computer office 2000. The e mail address's do not import. Please give me
step by step help on how to correct this. Thanks.

Never export and import. You cannot export from Outlook 2003. The file will
not be compatible with earlier versions. You must first create an Outlook
Data File in the older "outlook 97-2002" format and copy your Contacts
Folder into it. Then open that file in your older version.

1. Create a PST file in Outlook 97-2002 format: File > New > Outlook Data
File.
2. Copy your Contacts folder into that file.
3. Close Outlook and copy that file to the computer with Outlook 2000.
4. Open the file in Outlook 2000: File > Open
