Default Importing excel file into Outlook XP

Hope someone can help. I am trying to import an excel
file with basic contact details in it as well as some
custom fields. I followed the usual process of setting up
new fields in the contacts list, but when i go to
the 'Map' section in the import process, the new fields
do not show. The only fields i can map to are the fields
that already exist in the default fields list on the
right hand side of the mapping window. Does anybody know
how to do this, or know whether this can be done? I'm
using XP.

Thanks
Vikas

Outlook doesn't support importing to custom fields. You'd have to write
custom code or use a third-party application. See
http://www.outlookcode.com/d/customimport.htm.
