Is it possible to transfer files from OS X 10.2.8 address book to the Entourage address book?
Thanks.

Yes it is! You can drag each contact from Address Book into Entourage. Unfotunately, you can't drag more than one contact at a time which can be time consuming if you have a lot of contacts. Also, some of the fields don't always match up correctly.
You can also download the following script:
http://www.scriptbui...?search=addressbookexporter
The script will create a text file from the contacts in Address Book. You can then use Entourage to import this text file: File > Import > Import Information from a tex file > Import contacts from a tab- or comma-delimited text file. Then select the file you want to import (which is the text file you just created using the script). It also allows you to change or add field mapping to the Entourage address book.
