How do you import contacts from an excel file into Outlook 2007?

It is totally different than Outlook 2003. I dont understand what to do when
the map fields box comes up. Why do you have to drag and drop. Why can't it
just import the contact information?

Because Outlook doesn't know which column in your Excel worksheet contains the data corresponding to a specific Outlook field until you tell it by setting up the map.

Does this have to be set up for each name on your list? I looks like it. No
matter how many items to drag and drop, there is an arrow than you have to
click and next goes on forever. Do you have a link to help with this?

No, it's a mapping of columns to fields. Do it once and it affects all rows in the source data.
