How can I copy address lists (not individual contacts) from an old computer to a new one (running Win 10)?

I have moved to a new Win 10 computer. I have many mailing lists on my old system and want to use them, I moved the contact lists without a problem. I also have multiple address books (a mistake). Is there a way to turn the contact lists into a text or MS Word file to combine and edit them? How about moving my spelling dictionary (and then editing it)? I recall importing one long ago. Thanks, Eric

Why is it folk appear to set up a new instance that then think golle I need these other bits off the old machine.

Life is so much simpler if you just move the whole profile from the old to the new machine. You get your calendars, add-ons, address books and there is no need to download all your mail over again. set up anything or really do more than start the application.

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Moving_your_profile_folder_-_Thunderbird

Now to import your old address books you will need this add-on. https://freeshell.de//~kaosmos/morecols-en.html it imports the native MAB address book files.
