Oulook won't import contacts

[Snapzz3]

Hi. When i try to import a CSV file into a new Outlook account i'm met with this notification; "The format of the CSV file isn't correct. Please be sure that the file was exported in the Outlook CSV format."

I just downloaded the CSV file from my other account. The only thing i did was accidentally open it in notepad so now the file picture is of the notepad instead of a blank sheet of paper (if that makes sense). I really need to have my contacts imported as soon as possible so any help would be much appreciated.

so make another csv from the old outlook. or change the file extension from .txt to .csv if that is the issue.

That's the thing. It is a .csv file but i get the same message every time and i don't understand why.
