  2. Select Export to a file and then click Next.
  3. Select Comma Separated Values (Windows) and then click Next.
  4. Choose to export from the Contacts folder and then click Next.
  5. Type a file name (ex: "mycontactlist") and click Browse to locate the directory where you want to place the exported file. Then click OK to close the "Browse" dialog box.
