When I go through the importing process, the name is messed up. For example,
if the name is Peace Lutheran School, it will be listed as School, Pease Lutheran. I have tried different mapping scenarios, but nothing works. |

When importing a value to the "Name" field, Outlook will automatically
determine what the first and last name components of the "name" are from which the "File As" field is created as per the rule set. In your example - the issue is that you want the name "Peace Lutheran School" to be one component which would require that you explicity map these kinds of names to either the "first name" or "last name" component of a name which would solve your problem. However, if the data you are importing is a mixture of regular names (i.e. John Doe) and single names as per your example - there is no way for Outlook to know which is which. One option availble, if your main import file contains a mixture of name "types" (i.e. John Doe and Peace Lutheran School) - split the file into 2 based on name type. Import each file with it's own field map. Otherwise, if all names are of the type "Peace..." then simply map the field to either the first or last name element instead of to the full name.
