I'm trying to figure out how to import e-mail addresses, phone numbers, and other contact information from Apple's Contacts app to Outlook for Mac and haven't been able to do so yet. I would be grateful for any useful suggestions.

I recently started using Microsoft Outlook for Mac 2011, which I got as part of MS's Office for Mac 2011 suite. The version of Outlook I'm using is 14.3.9. I have been putting my contacts' information into Apple's Contacts app (I am using Contacts v.8.0). It has worked fairly well in the past with Apple's Mail app, but I am no longer using the Mail app. Please note: I do not need to import e-mails form Apple's Mail app to Outlook; since I synched up my Outlook with my Gmail account, I have been able to access my old e-mails, which are on Gmail's server, but most of my contact information is not on the Gmail server but is in the Contacts app on my hard drive. I can export contact info from Contacts as a PDF, but Outlook can't import it in that format, apparently. I can also export contact information from Contacts as (1) something called a Contacts Archive, a file that has an .abbu file extension, or (2) as a big set of vcf cards, in the form of a single file with file extension .vcf.
