What happens when you try?

 

[chaser12]

I opened outlook and file/export import files and choose import from another
program or files, Next Tab separeted values(windows) NExt I choose my txt
file from my c drive, and it shows destination part Import C/authors.txt to
contacts , but cannot hit next after that, it is gray out. I actually need to
import this to not even contacts, to the public folders, but it is not even
let me import to my contacts, that should be easiast.

Thanks for advice!!!

I'm still not clear on what you are seeing after you select the import folder (which cannot be in Public Folders). You should see a screen with the text "Import ..." with a blank check box next to it. Have you checked that box?

All i need to do double click on Import C/authors.txt to contacts and drag
this according to to contact. Then it lets you go throght with finish..
