# Copying contacts

You can copy contacts from your address book to share with others or to store in another location. You can attach a contact's card to an email message or drag it into a chat window in iChat to send it to the person you're chatting with.

1. Open Address Book and choose View > "Card and Columns."
2. Select the contact or contacts you want to copy, and drag them to the desktop, into the body of an email message, or into an iChat window.

When you drag a contact to the desktop or an email message, the information is exported as a vCard.

If you select multiple contacts, they will be copied into a single card. To copy them as separate cards, hold the Option key while you drag them.
