When I export my excel spreadsheet using the import wizard in outlook it
creates a record for each field of a particular contact. Please can you
explain how i can import the contact so that one row in excel is equal to one
contact record in outlook.

Just done it - the Excel spreadsheet creates each contact on one row with
data in columns. How are you doing the Export from Outlook?

i am naming each row in excel and matching these with the outlook columns. i
am then using the import wizard in outlook but it only matches each column
and not information about one client on each row. what am i doing wrong!

Do it the reverse way and see what fields are in the resultant workbook:
then match your spreadsheet to that. (If you have an empty Contact folder,
then create two or three dummy addresses just for testing)
