How do you export a Vcard file (of all my contacts) from Microsoft Outlook?

Question

I want to import my Outlook contacts into my new MacBook Pro, but I keep getting an error message in Address Book stating the file format I have is incorrect. I know Address Book reads vCard format, but I don't see that as an option in Outlook when I export. All I see are CSV file and Tab Delimited File options (in both Windows and DOS) formats. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Hi, you may try this way:

1.Selected all contacts in Outlook

2.Forwarded them as cards to myself

3.Saved all the attachments (vcards) in a folder, c:\temp

4.Opened a command prompt and typed the command copy /a *.vcf c:\allcards.vcf which concatenates all vcards into one
