Export Address Book 1.2: Word 2004, FileMaker support
Export Address Book is an app which exports all the data in your Address Book into an independent data file that you can archive or import elsewhere or use for merges with apps like Word and FileMaker.
It allows you to select which contacts to export, which fields from those contacts and how to order them, settings which can be saved as a template for repeated use:
An updated version (1.2) adds support for UTF-16 encoding, which provides full multilingual compatibility for Word 2004 merges or FileMaker databases.
It also features more flexible drag ‘n’ drop capabilities for contacts and contact information fields.
The help menu offers basic guidance and information about things like text encodings:
Export Address Book is shareware (10 Euros = USD 12.50) and is available from the developer’s web site

Hehe you name dropper you. Are you on a first name with Coonsy?
But seriously, what a great app. I’ve been burned by an Address Book database corruption. I stupidly thought, “that’s OK, i’ll just sync it back from my phone” and did that. Then several months later, well after I’d overwritten my backups, I realised I’d lost all my address and birthday information. The only thing I had was the phone numbers. ARGH!!!!!!!!! One of the most annoying data losses I’ve ever experienced because it takes ages to put together address book info again.

Don’t know how she has the time to run the telecommunications industry. Wait a minute. Maybe that the problem….
