PLEASE HELP!!!

[Guest]

I am trying to import my excel contacts into outlook and it is not accepting
them. They get put into the outlook contacts as separate entries. For
example I have 500 people in excel. When I go to import them it makes 1000
contacts 500 names and 500 numbers. Please help I have been fighting with
this for hours now

Aloha diken,

In your Excel file each contact is a row? Are there more than two columns
(name/number)?

When you do the import have you tried the custom mapping?

And in addition to Ben's questions, I have one: did you set up a named
range?

Sound slike it'snotmapped correctly. Is it a CSV file? Take a look at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP051984791033.aspx for suggestions.
