Address Book/.Mac --> Outlook?

Does anyone know if there's a route to getting one's OS X Address
Book into Outlook? A vcard export is one route, but I'm hoping to
find something sync-y that will keep them updated.

Sync them from Address Book into Entourage. Entourage talks to
Exchange Server and will move most of the contact information (not
Categories or Projects info) across the Exchange Server and into
Outlook.

Re: Address Book/.Mac --> Outlook?

Microsoft's web site only shows "Microsoft Outlook 2001" and does not
seem to support 10.3 or 10.4.

Are there any reliable e-mail programs that one can count on for
functionality for years to come--free, open source or subscription? I
have not been satisfied with any that I have now. Too bad .mac is a
disappointment.

That works great, thank you!

To clarify for the public record, this option is in Entourage
preferences, under Sync Services:

[Check] Synchronize contacts with Address Book and .Mac
        [Pulldown] Address Book (On my computer)
        [Pulldown] Contacts {Exchange server}

Check the box, then select the Contacts option. A subsequent menu
asks you to specify whether Address Book, Entourage or the remote
Exchange server wins in conflict resolution.

Update: I have several records in Address Book which are for a
company or vendor, and not a person. These entries have an entry in
the Company name, with the [x]Company field checked. They show up
fine in Entourage, but in Outlook they display as though there was no
entry in the "File As" field.

But the company name *is* in the File As field. In Outlook, copying
and pasting in the field, then clicking Save & Close seems to correct
the issue.

And, curiously, Entourage didn't appear in my Recent Items menu until
I updated to Entourage v11.3.3.
