Default Import Contacts From Excel to Outlook Not Working

Dear All,

I am trying to import into Oultook Contacts data from an Excel file (First
Name, Last Name, E-mail Address, for example).

A. Tried the following:
1. Save Excel file as tab delimited txt
2. Try to import into Outlook Contacts
3. Outlook does not recognize the column values (puts all values in a single
field). So I cannot map the fields from the txt file into Contacts details.

B. Tried the following:
1. Save Excel file as CSV
2. Try to import into Outlook Contacts
3. Outlook again does not recognize the column values (puts all values in a
single field). So I cannot map the fields from the txt file into Contacts
details.

C. Tried the following:
1. Save Excel file as regular Excel file
2. Define "Names" from "Insert-Names-Define". For example I select all
cells from the column with the First Names and put a name like "First".
3. During the Outlook import contacts wizard I map the Names I defined into
Outlook Contacts details (for example Phone - BusinessPhone2)
4. Data is successfully imported, but a new contact is created for each cell
in the excel worksheet, for example

" | John | Williams | +111 (1) 111 111| " - this is the row in excel

will generate 3 separate contacts into Outlook:

| John | | |
| | Williams | |
| | | +111 (1) 111 111|

Thanks in advance,

Mladen
