Printing Netscape address book (Netscape 4.7)

Is there a way to print the netscape address book entries on a single [or multiple] page? Perhaps by exporting it to some other format? I have about 500 names and addresses and I’d like to get a print out so I can take it with me when I travel. This includes email as well as snail mail and phone numbers.

What I do is click on Communicator -> Address Book, once the address book is up click on File -> Export, then type in the filename with a .txt extention and then select Tab Delimited from the drop down, finally click on OK. From the resultant file I open it with Word then convert the text to a table and from there either clean up the way it looks or just print it. Sometimes I mess around with the initial txt file – like replacing all of the ^t with ^l and then replacing ^l^l with ^l (repeating until 0 replaced) then I convert the text to a table separating text at paragraph marks – then print it. And yes, I’m sure there is an easier way but this is the way I’ve done it.
