That was what I needed to know!  I saved it initially as a 'comma 
separated' file and imported it as such.
It was 'contacts' that I did this too.
Well, wait a minute.  Ok, it looked like it worked, but in Outlook all I 
have in the contacts is all the names.
It did not put the details.  No email address with the names, or other 
data. 
Oh bummer.

Here is what I did.
Thunderbird / address book / tools / export /
save file type as file separated / named the file 'contacts' / saved to 
desktop

in Outlook
File / import and export / import from another program or file <guessed 
this was the right one to click but maybe it wasn't?>.......
Select file type / I selected: comma separated values<windows>
Files to import / browse to the desktop to the 'contacts' path
Select destination folder ...... I put it in contacts under personal 
folders.  Did not see one called address book.
Finish.

If there is a way to get the actual 'addresses' over to Outlook from 
Thunderbird.... please let me know what I did wrong so I can do it right.
Thank you!

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
