To turn an online contact into a regular Address Book contact

In your Address Book, you can delete someone as an online contact but retain them as a regular contact—assuming you have them in your Contacts list as both an online contact and an Address Book contact.

1. In the Contacts pane in Outlook Express, right-click the online contact you want to change, and then click Delete.
2. In the confirmation dialog box, click No.

   The contact disappears from your list of contacts in the messenger service program, but remains in your Address Book.
