I have a special template in my contacts. It has different fields in
addition to the default ones. When trying to import from excel to outlook, I
am only able to map the fields to the default template. Is there a way to
transfer the data from excel to the specially created template. When I
create a new folder in contacts to import to, I make sure that the properties
are correct and that the form I want to use is selected.

Outlook doesn't support importing to a custom form. You'd have to write custom code or use a third-party application. See http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm.
