Using Office 2003 Excel and Outlook 2003.  I have a client list in excel that
containes 650 records in rows with field names across the first row.  My
first attempt using the import/export wizard generated over 327,000 enrtries
into Outlook contacts folder. The first 650 were the street address only, the
rest were blank.  On my next  attempt (after deleting the previous) I copied
the first 20 records to a new workbook.  I highlighted the portion of the
workbook that contained the data, clicked insert, name, create, checked top
row, followed the wizard again and imported all the records but each field
was a separate contact??  Please advise.  Thank you.

Did you map fields in the Import & Export Wizard between your field names
and Outlook's fields?
