Tranferring Outlook contact files with .oft extension?

[nil.sarkar.vanorder]

I am in the first stages of trying to import my outlook contacts into
Gmail. But I can not open them in Excel -- I get the message
that .oft files are not compatible. Does anyone know what is this
about? How I can transfer my contact to Gmail?
Thanks,
Nil

What makes you think OFT files have anything to do with Contacts? Export
your contacts as a CSV file. That's the type of file gmail imports.
