In Armory:

1. Select "Wallet Properties".
2. Select "Backup This Wallet".
3. Select "See Other Backup Options".
4. Select "Export Key List".
5. Select "Omit spaces in key data".
6. The important string is the **PrivBase58** for every bitcoin address. It is the private key of this address encoded in base58 (encoded **not** encrypted), which is the (only?) format Electrum accepts when importing.

In Electrum:

1. Select File → New Wallet
2. Enter the private keys you took from armory into the textbox
