Outlook Contacts On A Flashdrive

Select Import and Export from the File menu. Choose Export to a file and click Next. From the list of file types choose Personal Folder File (.pst), and click Next. Select Contacts from the folder tree and click Next. Save the exported file as a file on your flash drive. I don’t think the “duplicates” options are important here, so just click Finish.

Now you will be able to open the PST file on another computer that has Outlook installed. If you need to have the ad-dresses in hand even when Outlook is not available, go through the export process again, but save as a Microsoft Excel file. Then do it once more and choose Comma Separated Values (Windows). This last format is a plain text file that you can  open in Notepad and search even on a bare-bones Windows computer.
