I have heard that there is a way to transfer your entourage contacts to the address book in os x using a (supposedly) included apple script. does anyone know how to do this? or do I have to export and import manually. if I have to do the latter, what format should export the contacts in??
Thanks for the help

There are two ways to import contacts from Entourage into Address Book:
1) To import contacts from Entourage:
1. Create a new folder in the Finder on your desktop named "Contacts".
2. Open the address book in Entourage.
3. Select the contacts you want to export. If you want to export all of them, choose Select All from the Edit menu.
4. Drag the selected contacts into the Contacts folder that you created. This creates vCard files for each of the contacts you selected.
5. Quit Entourage.
6. Open the Address Book application.
7. Choose View Card and Columns from the View menu.
8. Drag the Contacts folder from the desktop to the Groups column of the Address Book window.
2)via AppleScript
1. Open Import Addresses.scpt (/Library/Scripts/Mail Scripts).
2. Script Editor opens. Click Run.
3. Follow the on-screen prompts to choose the source of the addresses that you are importing. The script will import addresses automatically once you answer the prompts.
