Transfer Type Ahead Information from Outlook

1. Close any running copies of Microsoft Outlook.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Make sure hidden files and folders are visible in Windows Explorer by navigating to Tools -> Folder Options -> Advanced Settings, and select "Show hidden files and folders."

5. Transfer the file to the corresponding directory on another computer with Outlook
6. Restart Microsoft Outlook and all of your type ahead data should be there.

NOTE: This will allow transfers from Office 2003 to Office 2007
