I have a spread sheet with just under 700 chapters profiled, with 12 contact fields for each one. Is there a module which would allow me to import this information as a csv and auto-generate 700 different page nodes, ie. one for each record that displays the chapter information.
I was hoping that the import/export module might be the so called 'magic bullet", but while it does generate the page nodes.. these pages contain no information from the record and are not titled. Rendering it somewhat useless. Am I doing something wrong?
When I attempt to generate these pages using the "import/export" module, I drop the data in the text box, ripping it from notepad, which in turn is used to open a csv file generated by Microsoft excel from a spreadsheet. I select "Insert non existing records" as my Action.
The module can be found here:

Judging from this post: http://drupal.org/node/35658
This is the module I want. However, I feel it is my ignorance that is preventing me fusing it. Any helpful advice would be appreciated.
Another module that I encountered was the "Node Import" module.
http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/node_import,
but my efforts to install it proved fruitless.
I assumed that one merely had to copy the module file given into the module directory of the drupal installation. However, when I do, and then journey to administer/access control to make it visible, it simply isn't there.
