What is the difference between my Contact list and my address book?
The Outlook Address Book and Outlook Contacts are both are part of Outlook. However, the Address Book is a compilation of the different address lists you might have stored in Outlook, such as a Personal Address Book (.pab), LDAP Internet directories, the Global Address List (GAL), or other third-party address books. Contacts is just one of the address lists that make up the Address Book. Only contacts can be exported directly from Outlook to Excel.
