Outlook 2003 - Importing contacts from Excel: option is missing?

[Ed]

Hello,

On a PC with Office 2003, I want to import contacts from an Excel 2003 file
into Outlook 2003.
According to the Outlook help file this should be in Outlook 2003: "File ->
Import and Export -> Import from another program or file -> Microsoft
Excel". See:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA010964231033.aspx?pid=CL100626971033
However, this "Microsoft Excel" option is missing. Does anybody have an idea
what could be causing this?

Thanks,

Ed

Apparentlt you didn't install that particular importer. Put your installation
CD in your drive and run Office's setup. Use Add/Remove Features. Expand
"Microsoft Office Outlook", and make sure "Importers and Exporters" is
configured to "Run from My Computer". Finish the installation wizard.

Rerun set up and see if the text converters were installed.
