contacts

I installed office 2007 on both my office and home computers. I did the
office 1 first. How do I transfer my contacts from my office to my home
computer?

Copy outlook.pst and on the other pc in outlook click file import.

No NO NO! ALL the posts in this and the other Outlook groups say do NOT use
the import function.
Why?

Importing an entire PST may well corrupt your profile and may create a ghost
PST that you can't close. Importing PST's will lose:
1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we do not advise
people to import a native file into Outlook.

It's a hidden file.
