After furious head scratching, R_Millman asked:
Where is the contacts folder? Is it under an Outlook folder somewhere? Or
can i search for the list through Start, search etc?

Use the folder list view to show all of your folders. It shouldn't matter anyway since using the INsert->Item dialog should bring up your Outlook folders. You should not have to use Start->Search at all.
I am afraid I don't know what you are doing as you are obviously not following directions already given. If you are mixing and matching procedures, I can't help you. If you follow my directions exactly and don't deviate, the options should be obvious.
