How do I take all of my Outlook contacts from a Windows PC and put them into the address book of the Macbook?

Thanks

Followed it...the email came to the Macbook with a winmail.dat attachment, which won't let me do anything with it??? Help

That's weird, they should have come through as the standard vCard format. Everything I read on it says it will send a whole group of vCard files that you can then import into Address Book.

This article says to do the same thing, but also has a few alternative options. Hope it helps.

I believe the Winmail.dat file contains the encoding Outlook uses to display messages in Rich Text Format. There's a quirky bug in Outlook that sometimes causes this. It usually occurs when emails are composed in PC Outlook and then read by software other than Outlook (including Entourage).

Try resending yourself the message but in plain text format.
