Hmmm... are we talking about "Outlook" (for MS Exchange) or "Outlook
Express" (Microsoft's free internet e-mail client)?

Scott, you're right if talking about Outlook Express -- it only creates
a text clipping when dragging from the Address Book list.  How
annoying.  This seems like a basic feature, but it only works with
Entourage, which is only included as part of the Office software suite.
  How about "Outlook" (*not* "Express") -- anyone have any knowledge
about how Outlook handles exporting of addresses?  The work-around
through Netscape seems like a good but possibly tedious procedure...
but if you have a lot of addresses to move, it would sure beat typing
them all back in...
