How can I migrate addresses to TB? Can't find a "Tools" option to click

just got an 8.1 to replace my XP (which used Outlook Express as primary. Am trying to import the adress book from OE and the instructions I got said if TB has already been installed/accessed, just "click on 'Tools' and choose import addresses from OE."

Where the heck is a "Tools" to click?

(weren't the "good-old-days" called Windows 98?)  :-(

Thanks,

Tools is on the Menu Bar. If your Menu bar is not showing, press that alt key. Then select View-Toolbars and turn the missing toolbars on.

The new menu system, which stinks in my opinion, is hidden under the AppMenu button. It is a small square with 3 lines in it. Not all the menu choices are in the normal places in that menu and do not match the available documentation. That is why I suggest that you turn the old toolbars on.
