Converting MS Outlook "Tasks" PC to Mac

[Michael73]

Got my neighbor to make the big switch from a PC to a Mac last week (bought a 27" iMac). He runs his own consulting company from home. For years he's used the Tasks function in Outlook 2003 as a way to keep track of his interactions with his clients. These are all saved in pst files. He bought Office 2011 for Mac but there doesn't seem to be an easy way to import these files (something also to do with ANSI format). I've helped him track down a program called PST Bridge which may do the trick. Although the program is pretty cheap, does anyone know if there any freeware out there that can accomplish the same thing or if there is functionality within Outlook which can do this?
