The fastest and easiest way to create a Netscape Address Book is to begin with an existing address book. For example, if you have an address book set up in Netscape Messenger or Microsoft Outlook, you can import that address book into Netscape Address Book-and access those entries from any computer.

Here's how to import address book entries into Netscape Address Book:

1. Open the address book in your email program, then either save or export the address book to a file on your hard disk.

2. Use your Web browser to go to your Netscape Address Book.

3. Click the Customize icon.

4. When the Customize Address Book page appears, go to the Import from a File section and click the Browse button.

Use the Right Browser!  To import address book entries into Netscape Address Book, you need to be using Netscape Navigator 4.5 or above as your Web browser. Other browsers such as Internet Explorer and older versions of Netscape Navigator are unable to perform the import function.

5. When the File Upload dialog box appears, locate the address book file you exported from your email program and click the Open button.

6. You are returned to the Customize Address Book page. Click the Import button to begin importing the selected file.

7. When the import process is complete, click the Save button at the top of the Customize Address Book page to save the new entries.
