Importing Address Book from OE6 to Outlook 2002

I use OE6 but because I am doing a course which uses Outlook I have
just installed Outlook 2002 from Office XP Professional and then
downloaded and installed all updates that were found. I wanted to
import my Address Book from OE6 I have used the following
instructions in Outlook
File - Import Export - Import Internet Mail and Address Books -
unchecked Mail and then proceeded to import Addresses. When
choosing what to import from it only listed OE4 or OE5 no OE6 (I
presume this is because OE6 wasn't around when Outlook 2002 was
produced) so I chose the only option available to me.
Use OE5. OE5 and OE5 use the same format for their files.
It went through the process of importing but the summary told me it
had imported none of them. It also won't allow me to add names to
Address Book individually. My feeling is it only wants me to use
Contacts but then why have a Address Book?
The Outlook Address Book contains no data at all. It is just a view of
those enteries in your Contacts folder(s) that have electronic addresses.
You WANT the import to place the contacts from OE into your Contacts folder
in Outlook.
