The names in the Group are not listed the way they are in my personal
address book. The Group name itself is listed alphabetically in my personal
address book. When I double click on the Group name, the Group
window/box/whatever-it's-called doesn't show the names in a format that can
be highlighted and dragged anywhere. (Both New Group and Old Group cannot
be open at the same time.) Nor can you right click and do it that way.

In the left hand pane your should see your Contacts folder, does it have a
plus sigh next to it?

If so, click it, this should cause your groups to display under the folder.

When you click the group under the folder it's contents will display in the
right hand pane and this is where you can select and copy or drag them to
another group.

I fiddled around with it and finally got a left hand pane with Folders
showing. I have 6 group folders - 3 of them show the names therein when I
click on them, but the other 3 don't show anything. I THINK the 3 that show
names were compiled by transferring names from my own personal list. But
the other 3 I had to type all the names into the Group window.

Good news.

As you noticed the three group folders that show names when clicked were all
compiled by selecting names from you own contact list.

In these groups you can use select copy then paste into another group or
select then drag to another group.

The bad news is those groups where you typed the names into the Group window
do not show, thus those names cannot be copied.

If it was me I would put those typed names into a folder then select them
into a Group.

This way you can then use copy, paste, drag, etc.

If you need more info feel free to post back.

I posted at the same time as Ken which was 3 hours before your post.

You have discovered one of the problems with adding names not in the address
book to a group.
If you view the properties of an email sent to a group, you will see the
list of group' names.

Groups do not export or get saved in a scv file.
The only way to move your group' names/addresses not in the address book to
another group or computer is to retype the names/addresses.
