-With this tutorial, you will learn how to import comma separated value (CSV) files into your calendar application. 
- 
-==Outlook== 
-  - Download the CSV file you wish to import into Outlook and note where it is downloaded to. 
-  - Open '''Outlook''' if it is not already opened, and select the '''Calendar''' view within Outlook. 
-  - '''This step is optional:''' If you wish to create a separate calendar for the events that will be imported, you can do so now: 
-    - In the navigation pane on the left side of the Outlook window, right click on the list of calendars and select '''New Calendar'''. 
-    - Name the calendar and save it where you wish (the folder '''Calendar''' is the default choice selected). 
-  - Select the '''File''' tab at the top of the Outlook window. 
-  - Select '''Open & Export'''. 
-  - Select '''Import/Export'''. This will open a new wizard. 
-  - Select ''Import from another program or file''' within the wizard and select '''Next'''. 
-  - Select '''Comma Separated Values''' and select '''Next'''. 
-  - Navigate to the CSV file you wish to import and select it. Then, choose what you wish to do with duplicate items and select '''Next'''. There are three options: 
-    - '''Replace duplicates with items imported''': Existing data will be overwritten with the information in the file being imported. 
-    - '''Allow duplicates to be created''': Existing data will not be overwritten, and duplicates will be added to the current Outlook folder. 
-    - '''Do not import duplicate items''': Existing data will be kept, and the duplicate information in the file will not be copied to the current Outlook folder. 
-    - Select the calendar you wish to use as the destination folder and select '''Next'''. 
-    - The wizard will now show the actions to be performed. Select '''Finish''' and the events within the CSV file will be added to your chosen calendar.
