Default Excel field -Nickname- not importing

In my Excel (2003) worksheet I have a "Nickname" column which I would like
imported into my Outlook (2003 Pro Edition) contacts. When I get to Map
Custom Fields dialog box, there is no Nickname field in the TO: Microsoft
Outlook Contacts section. Is there a way to add this somewhere?

Any help is really appreciated!!

This somewhat stumps me since there is a "Nickname" field in Contacts on
Outlook when I open up a contact and go to the "Details" tab. Wouldn't that
suggest that the field should be available for importing from another file?
