This article was previously published under Q196998
SYMPTOMS
When you import a tab-delimited (TSV) or comma-delimited (CSV) text file
into Microsoft Outlook 2000, you may not see the individual fields listed
for mapping in the Map Custom Fields dialog box. Instead, all fields are in
a row, separated by small box characters.
RESOLUTION
Open the TSV or CSV file in Microsoft Excel and step through the text
import wizard. Save the file from Microsoft Excel in TSV format and use
that file for importing into Outlook.
