How do I copy my Yahoo mail address book?

I'd like to copy my addresses to removable media, such as a CD or thumb drive. I've tried to highlight the addresses in order to copy and paste, but that doesn't work. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
  • OK,I've successfully performed the operation.Thanks to all who responded. :)
  • Export does "not" remove your contacts. It downloads a copy. The original is still in the same place.

    Thanks. What kind of files are these?:

    Export to .csv or .vcf

    I wish to retain the contact list in its current location. IOW, I don't want a "cut & paste" type of operation.

    I guess when you asked this 3 weeks ago you didn't get an answer you liked.

    But in that discussion you never clarified exactly why Export wasn't what you wanted. Shall we try again?


    You're right. I completely fogfot about that post (senior moment,I guess) :R . Well,I'll ask a further question here: If I export the addresses does tat mean they are removed from their current location? I don't want that to happen. Thanks again for the assistance.
