1. See http://www.slipstick.com/Tutorials/import/import.htm - use the same
method for contacts.
2. I don't think you can import to custom fields - maybe use the 4 user
fields outlook already has or merge the cells of extra data and place it in
the Notes field (Message field when mapping fields).
3. Do you want the data in outlook format or a more universal format?
