To move contacts from the Address Book select Export..., from Address Book's File menu and then, Address Book Archive. Give the archive a name and save it. If the other user account is on the same computer/network you can drag the saved archive into the User's Drop Box in their Public folder, otherwise email it if it is not too large. The recipient can then select Import... from the new Address Book.
