Using Outlook 2003's Address Book

Outlook 2003's Address BookOutlook's Address Book is the central repository of all your contacts' information. Confusingly, the term "Address Book" in Outlook refers to both the tool containing all your contacts, and address books (i.e. "sub-listing of contacts") you can create.

Microsoft Exchange 2007Outlook 2003 supports multiple address books (lists of contacts); in a network environment, Outlook may even give you access to network (remote) address books or shared address books. If your company uses an Exchange server for email (Microsoft's mail server software), you may yet have another type of shared address book.

To open the Address Book in Outlook 2003, go to Tools > Address Book.
