It says I may have to convert my file into delimited text file - not sure
what that is and if I have to do it

ACT will give you a list of what file types it can import. Export your
Outlook contacts to one of those file types and import it into ACT.

At the very least you neglected to mention 2 basic pieces of information
given your question:
1) Outlook version
2) Act version

The necessary info as to how to import Outlook contacts into any program is
generally included in the program that wants you to import the data. In any
event, the following may be of use to you (if you are not using Act! 2005 -
a simple google search should get you the specific info you're looking for
whatever Act version you're using)

As for exporting from Outlook - use Import/Export - CSV file.
