You can copy contact information from your address book to the Contacts list (requires a SharePoint Team Services-compatible address book, such as Microsoft Outlook 2002, and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later), and you can copy contacts from the Contacts list to your address book (requires an address book, such as Outlook 2000, that supports vCard files).
