"Hi I'm Tod Amazeen, I've been an internet business consultant for fifteen years. I'm going to show you how to export your Yahoo address book to Microsoft Outlook. Microsoft Outlook is a Registered Trademark of the Microsoft Corporation. A company with which I have no affiliation. Once you've signed in to your Yahoo account select mail from the list of items on the right hand side of the screen. From the tabs across the top select contacts, move your cursor to the right and select import export. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and from the export section click on export now. I'm using Firefox as my web browser, so I'm going to select save to disk. And then I'll select ok. If you are using any other browser simply save the file to your desk top. Once the file is downloaded we are going to close Firefox, by clicking on the x in the upper right hand corner. And we'll close the download screen just to keep our computer clean. Now we are going to open Microsoft Outlook, select file from the menu, scroll down and select import and export. Choose import from another program or file from the list of options available. And select next. Click on comma separated values parenthesis windows end parenthesis. And click next. And then we'll click on the browse button to the right of the file to import section. Go to the desktop and we'll select Yahoo underscore AB dot CAB which is the file we just exported from Yahoo. And we'll click ok. I'm going to allow duplicates to be created and I'm going to click on next. From the select destination folder, we'll find our contacts, click on contacts, collect, click on next. And click finish. You'll see the import and export progress bar. And when the window disappears you are done. You've just learned how to export your Yahoo address book to Microsoft Outlook. I'm Todd Amazeen."
