On the next screen, choose “Import from another program or file”, and then click “Next”.
In the “Import a File box”, browse to your contacts file, and then double-click to select it.
Choose one of the following to specify how you want Outlook to handle duplicate contacts:
“Replace duplicates with items imported” If a contact is already in Outlook and your contacts file, Outlook discards the info it has for that contact and uses the info from your contacts file. You should choose this option if the contact info in your contacts file is more complete or more current than the contact info in Outlook.
“Allow duplicates to be created” If a contact is in Outlook and your contacts file, Outlook creates duplicate contacts, one with the original Outlook info and one with the info imported from your contacts file. You can combine info for those people later to eliminate duplicate contacts. This is the default option.
“Do not import duplicate items” If a contact is in Outlook and your contacts file, Outlook keeps the info it has for that contact and discards the info from your contacts file. You should choose this option if the contact info in Outlook is more complete or more current than the info in your contacts file.
Click “Next”.
In the “Select a destination folder box”, scroll to the top if needed and select the “Contacts” folder and then click “Next”. If you have multiple email accounts, choose the Contacts folder that's under the email account you want to be associated with the contacts.
If you are not sure that the column names in the first row of the spreadsheet will map correctly to the Outlook fields, click “Map custom fields” to verify them.
Click "Finish" to complete the import.
