I want to import addresses from AppleWorks database into Address Book.
Is this possible?
Running a iMac G5 Power PC

When I search for "import" in Address Book's help, I see that it can
import tab- and comma-delimited text files. It won't read the AW file
directly, but you should be able to export the data in a format that it
can read.
I read that as well. So I exported in comma-delimited format the
database of addresses that I needed to import into Address Book. But
with no result. it just didn't seem possible to get the file into
Addressbook. All that happened was that Addressbook created 27 entries
that corresponded to the 27 addresses in the file, but alas all the
entries were blank. So I'm no further forward.
I had hoped that someone on this NG had succeeded and could give me some
pointers.
