It is totally different than Outlook 2003. I dont understand what to do when
the map fields box comes up. Why do you have to drag and drop. Why can't it just import the contact information? |

Because Outlook doesn't know which column in your Excel worksheet contains the data corresponding to a specific Outlook field until you tell it by setting up the map.

Does this have to be set up for each name on your list? I looks like it. No matter how many items to drag and drop, there is an arrow than you have to click and next goes on forever. Do you have a link to help with this?

No, it's a mapping of columns to fields. Do it once and it affects all rows in the source data.
