Well, actually, it's about the same thing. When I drag the CSV file 
onto Excel I get lots of nice columns. It just happens that the 
entire address is put into a single cell in the address column.

When I do it your way, I get one column that contains the street 
address, but NO columns for City, State or Zip.

But it doesn't matter. I have the answer.  Address Book Exporter is a 
freeware program at VersionTracker.

With one click it lets you export your Address Book data straight 
into a text file whose fields line up perfectly when you import it 
into Entourage.
