How can I export "hotmail" contacts to Outlook

[Westat1]

Is there an automatic way to export contacts in hotmail to import them in Outlook?

Thanks

I did a little digging around and came across this set of instructions for Outlook Express. I don't know if it will work in Outlook.

1. First have the HotMail acct installed in your OE application.
2. Than open up Address Book> TOOLS> Press Synchronize Now.
3. This will move contacts from the Address Book's Main Contact folder
(not any contacts in sub-folders that you have created) to the HotMail
Address Book, and visa versa. You will need to check both address books
for duplicate entries, and delete as necessary.
