Default Importing Contacts

I'm trying to import a .pst file into Outlook 2002. I go through the steps but when I get to choose which folder to import to - I cannot choose Contacts, or any other file for that matter, to import to. Is there any way around this error - or any back door method to import an entire .pst file into my account? The version that I am working with does not include the upgrade to allow importing and exporting to Excel. Thank you.

Default Importing Contacts

If this is a PST file, why are you importing at all?
Importing is used when you need to change file formats and always introduces
a chance for data corruption.
Just open the PST file in Outlook and copy what you need to your current
PST.
