Typed them into "what?" The Windows Address Book? Or into Notepad?
What happens when you open Start/Run and type: WAB /A
Does the address book open? If so, you can use its menu, File/Export/Other
Address Book.
Really need a lot more info from you to try and help.

Into the Windows address book. If I type in WAB/A they say they cannot find
the file. All I want to do is transfer my WAB to other programs. When I
try to send out the WAB using export - that's when I get the error, "error
exporting addresses".

Try using the WAB /A command again and this time leave a space between WAB
and the virgule [/]. If that fails to work, you may have a problem with
your address book that has been moved to some location other than the one in
the registry at this key:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER
\Software
\Microsoft
\WAB
\WAB4
\Wab File Name
In any case, you should be able to open the Address Book and use "its" menu,
File/Export/Address Book [or Other Address Book] if you wish to export as a
CSV file. I'd suggest you read the info about the address book at this

Good luck.
