Windows XP, Outlook 2007 - Office Enterprise 2007 (I think) at work.
File 1 = "Address Book: Contacts" is accessed by e-mail and at the top of
the Outlook Screen by clicking on an "Open Book" icon or Ctrl + Shift + B.
File 2 = "Contacts - Microsoft Outlook" is accessed at the bottom of the
outlook screen by clickin on a "Business Card" icon or at the top by "Go"
"Contacts".

File 1 is a brief list of what I had in 2003.
File 2 is a near complete listing of what I had in 2003 and it got this way
with me creating new contacts.

I created new contacts using the File 1 screen, using "File, New Contact"
completing the form and the entry shows up on File 2.

I was told of a way to add listings to File 1 a while back and have
contacted the man who told me how.

My question is, Why do I have two lists.
Can I make List 2 inco List 1 without all the typing?
 
Only you would know why you have two different Contact Folders. You were
there. We weren't. I suspect you migrated your data incorrectly to your new
installation.
Use Folder List view so that you can examine your entire folder hierarchy in
one view and see how many Contact Folders you have. There's no reason you
couldn't move contacts from your other folders into your default folder.
 
File 1 is not listed in the "Folder List View". I expanded the list and
looked at every sub-folder and could not find it.
This is the listing that I ghet when I choose "Contacts" when sending
e-mail. The "Contacts" folder that looks like a business card in "Folder
List View" is not accessable from e-mail.

Sounds to me like you might have a Personal Addres Book defined (although I
haven't checked if that's possible in OL 2007).

Right-click that extra folder in the view in which you can see it and choose
Properties. Does it have a location? Click Tools>Account Settings and
select the Data Files tab. Do you see more than one?
 
Clarify what you mean by "File 1." It is simply not possible to have a
folder appear in the address book view that does not exist in your Outlook
profile, so you've missed something. (Note: PAB's cannot be used in Outlook
2007).
