MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / July 2005!!Importing contacts from Excel!!
I have browsed the numerous threads on this topic... I have fields in columns, and contact records in rows. My first row contains the field names. The data for each field has been named using the same names as in Row 1. When I import, each field is imported as an individual contact. I'm unable to get all the fields for each record into one contact record. Help please! :) Create (or fix) a named range so that it encompasses all the data you want to import including the header row and you should be all set. Not sure about "named ranges"? Save your worksheet as a CSV file and import that file instead.

Why the .csv? I wish Microsoft would just spell this stuff out in the help files. > Create (or fix) a named range so that it encompasses all the data you want > to import including the header row and you should be all set.

However, many people just have all their data starting in row/col A1 and aren't accustomed to "named ranges" - hence just easier to save it to CSV.
