Default FIXED :) outlook - not importing ALL names from Excel file

silly me = did a Google search
"all records not import from Excel to Outlook"
seems to be a UNIVERSAL PROBLEM
what else is new (sic MS)
anyway
even though a DIRECT OPTION EXISTS between TWO MS programs
it DOES NOT WORK !
solution = EXCEL export to CSV, then use OUTLOOK to import CSV

thought I'd share the solution
(sorry for yelling )
but this cost me a WHOLE DAY!
I was taught problems were operator errors - not system
well - not this time
