Need some basic help with export

I am trying to export data from Mappoint 2004 into Excel. I want to take all the restaurants (or any other points of interest) and their information (phone, address, name) that is in a 5 mile radius and put it into a managible excel file. I can get all the info up in mappoint but I can't get it over to excel.

1. Is their a way to directly export all the information into mappoint?
2. If not, can I assign all the restaurants to pushpins and then exprot the pushpin data to excel?

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

There is a classic article about this on MP2Kmag --

Extracting the Mappoint 2002 Points of Interest - MapPoint Articles - MP2K Magazine (http://www.mp2kmag.com/a53--poi.points.interest.mappoint.html)

Hope this helps.
