Default how to import CSV file to contacts

Process is very simple.

From the File Menu -- Import and Export -- Import from another program or
file

Follow the screens that come up - selecting your target contact folder and
then "explictly" map your fields. Outlook refers to that as "Map Custom
Fields". In reality, this maps your fields to the standard Outlook fields.
You cannot import data to any user-defined fields in Outlook.
