Q: Add to contact to specific address book?
Hello- When I right click and choose 'add contact to address book' from within Apple mail, it adds the contact to the 'On My Mac' address book file. I want it to add the contact to a different address book. Is there a way to designate a specific default address book?
Thx!

See the instructions here to set a default account. In your case, select your Exchange account.
According to this link Address Book Accounts Basics (with iCloud) However in Mavericks this is no longer an option.
Default Account
Your 'default' account is set in address book preferences > general (the option is only displayed if you have more than one account). This option determines which account will be used for new contacts when you choose to view your Address Book by 'All Contacts' (i.e. viewing all accounts at once) or when you add contacts from Mail. Note; When adding contacts via the Address Book when only one account is selected for viewing, new contacts will be added to the account being viewed.
FYI... Mavericks Mail and Exchange have not had a happy relationship. Most of the problems have been resolved, but I would research more thoroughly if you are considering upgrading to Mavericks any time soon.
Hope this helps!
