You can't copy from the group Properties window.
You have to have the group members displayed in the right pane.
Do the names highlight?

The only time the names appear is in the properties window. If I highlight
the group name when in the address book list, nothing appears in the right
window.

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for your help.

If you open the address book and under Main Identities Contacts click on the
Group name, all the addresses in the group should appear in the right pane.
If it doesn't, I don't have any idea why myself.

When I click on "Show all contents" another address book window opens. On
the left side of this window I see "Shared Contacts" and "Main Identity
Contacts" If I expand the Main Identity Contacts, I see the group name. If
I click on the group name, nothing appears in the right window. If I click
on the Main Identity Contacts, email addresses of these contacts appear in
the right pane.

You had the reason why the group names are not showing in the right pane.
"When I click on the group name in the left pane, the names do not show up
in
the right pane. Is this because they are not part of the main contacts?"
The group addresses must be in the same contacts folder with the group name
in the Address Book.

To add the group names to the Address Book without typing:
start a new message,
select the group for the To field,
save the messages to Drafts,
open the message in Drafts,
right click on an address,
Add to Address Book,
Ok,
repeat

You can create a comma separated value file and import the names.

Hi Nittany77,

Via your query I just learned something new.

Like you previously said "When I click on the group name in the left pane,
the names do not show up in the right pane. Is this because they are not
part of the main contacts?"

I set up a group with names that are NOT a contact in either main or shared
contacts and I see the same as you describe.

I like Rons suggestion on how to add this group of names to the Address Book
without typing.

Thanks,

Ken

That method does work, but brings up another question. I don't really want
all of these addresses in the main address book, can I make another address
book just for these email addresses?

You could create another folder in your address book and put these contacts
in it.

Another way would be to create another Identity.

The group's names can be in the shared folder.
The group can be in the main folder.
You don't need a new folder.
