Default Transfer contacts containing Japanese text

I have a contacts file made in Outlook 2000. The file contains Japanese
text. There is no problem to input and see Japanese text in Outlook 2000.
When I tried to export and import the contact file via .pst file, The text
does not show up correctly. I also tried to export the contacts file in
Excel or other format, but no avail. Does someone know how to solve this
problem?

Hello, Ben.

It's Outlook 2007 6.0.
But I do not this the problem is on the side of import.
When I created the contacts file in Excel format in Outlook 2000, and open
the file with Excel, the file does not show up correctly.
So, my guess is the problem is on the export side.
For some reason, when the contacts file is exported, Japanese text is not
correctly exported.

Thanks for your help.

You never transfer Outlook data by exporting and importing. You transfer
Outlook data by copying the PST file.

When you say "tried to export and import the contact file via .pst file",
what do you mean? Outlook 2000 already uses a PST. Why are you exporting
and importing? Just open the original PST in the new Outlook
(FileOpenOutlook Data File). Do you see the Japanese characters then?

Yes. I opened the PST in the new Outlook, and still did not see the
Japanese characters. When I opened the PST in the old Outlook, I did see the
Japanese characters.
