DESCRIPTION
Address Book Exporter is a little utility that does one thing, and one thing only: it will let you export your Mac OS X Address Book as a tab-delimited plain text file. Apple doesn't include this feature in its application, though you may want to have it to create mailing lists, upload address books to webmail servers, etc...

PETE4160  Brilliant!! I wish that I had found this earlier.

I was really looking for an exporter to a spreadsheet (eg Excel) but this did the trick. I copied the text file into Word, converted to a table, and took the file into Excel. Easy!!

Many thanks indeed.

SNAERBEAR  I have been trying to convert my address book to CSV using address book exporter without any luck. The instructions are "To install this software, drag the icon to your application folder" I get the response the application folder can't be modified. I also got a file xxxxxx.CSV on the desk top which seems to be without any files and when I try and upload it to vertical response it quits with an error response. can someone help?thanks

ARBOURETUM  Address Book Exporter 2.1.2. Works perfectly and quickly. Immediately solved a problem that I had trying to get a contact list to PC users. Why didn't Apple include this? Thanks.

CARWESG  Hello, thank you BUT : Clicking on "export ALL" did not work when I tried to import the txt doc into Palm Desktop, the problem may be coming from Palm also. It only exported the addresses that were groups. It also duplicated cards (since some cards were in 2 or 3 # groups). Any suggestions?

CAPITALMINDZ  This is an issue that I ran into when using Address Book to CSV (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/29681)

Your CSV file may need to be formated properly in order to get it to import properly into Outlook on a P.C.

The issue is explained in the link below:

PHILP  Love the exporter, BUT why can't I export the spouse name or anniversary?

Also

When Mac is so user friendly with global solutions, I cannot believe that the address book does not come with an exporter!!

If their print options had a little more fineness I would not need exporter
