missing fields when importing contacts from excel 2003 to outlook

[lttlemisslovely1973]

Hi folks. I have a list of contacts that I wish to import into outlook 2007.
I have saved it as an excel 2003 document but when I go to import it, I only
see 10 out of 12 column headers. The result of which is that the email
address and notes do not get imported. I looked through this list to see if
I could see any answers and have looked at my named range to ensure it
encompasses all my columns and it does, so can anyone shed any light on this?

Thanks.

Kerry

What happens if you export some of your existing contacts to Excel and
compare the output to your Excel list?

A simpler, easier alternative to using Excel and named ranges and and
and....

Save your worksheet as a CSV file, use that file for importing, manually
map all fields. Done.
