I was able to get this done and have moved to another road block.
I am not able to define the Custom Fields as the Map Custom Fields button,
in Outlook is not available.....I am supposed to have the option "The
following Actions will be performed" from which to choose Import & Map Custom
Fields... and it is not there....???

Help

Select the range of cells in Excel that you want to import (say, from A1 to
J12) and while that block is selected, type a name for the range in the box
above the grid, to the left of the formula bar (it usually has a cell number
in it and if you hover over the box it should say Name Box). Now save and
close the spreadsheet and try to import from Outlook again.
