Wordperfect 11 Address Book Location Windows 7

Moved a user from XP to Windows 7 and reinstalled Wordperfect.  I didn't realize they used the address book.  I copied the CCwin folder from the Windowx XP computer, but do know where to put it at on the Windows 7 machine, anyone know where it should be, as Wordperfect is pulling up the Outlook address book and they simply used to use the default Wordperfect address book

You probably need to import but it may be grayed out as in this post

If the XP PC is still around and it's using the Outlook Address book you can move that over to Win7.

I copied the CCwin folder to the location you mentioned and double-clicked on the addrbk file and it appears not to recognize which program is associated with it.  If I manually choose Wordperfect it opens Wordperfect and inside the document simply says Corel Wordperfect Address Book

Maybe Windows Easy Transfer from XP to Win7 will pull over any registry settings that need to be transferred in order for the WordPerfect to work on Win7:

Windows Easy Transfer for transferring from Windows XP (32 bit) to Windows 7

If not, you might try searching the registry on the XP computer for settings having to do with the WordPerfect address book and see if they can be exported from the XP computer and imported to the Win7 computer.

Okay now I got Wordperfect to stop using Outlook for its address book and it has pulled up the default Corel, but where do these files go I copied from the old computer, I thought I put them into the correct place but they do not show up.  Where should they be on Windows 7
