icloud contacts not in outlook

OK - it turns out the resolution to this is:

1) Go to contact tab in outlook. This is the item with the two head/shoulder icons

2) Find the contacts list you want to appear in outlook as an address book

3) Right click and open properties

4) Go to Outlook address book tab and tick "Show this folder as an email Address Book"

At one stage i had an Icloud address book, along with other accounts. That address book has vanished - even though my apple email account is still in outlook. At this stage just need access to my icloud contacts. - dont care how it happens.
