  Open your personal Address Book, and choose the Other Options squishy.   Choose the Give This Book To Someone squishy.   Select the box next to C: Hard Disk. This should put a red check mark in the box.   Click the button with the green check mark. This will save the book to your hard drive.   Choose the Other options squishy, and then choose the Create A New Book Or List squishy.   Choose the Get It From A Floppy Disk squishy, and then Select the box next to C: Hard Disk.
