multiple contacts into a distribution list
I have 367 contacts in my address book that I need to include in a new
distribution list. Must I enter each one individually or is there a way to import multiple contacts (i.e. drag and drop, highlight and drag &drop, etc)? Cheers, David |

You must enter each individually.
That alone should inspire you to reconsider what you're doing. DL's are a poor choice for grouping Contacts. Most of us use Categories or separate Contact subfolders, depending on our needs. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "T181" wrote in message ...

Thanks Russ - I feel a little silly when it's so obvious.

It's not really very obvious. Normally, Distribution Lists should be fine
for this. They just aren't, so most of us have been forced to look for other methods. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "T181" wrote in message ...

Am I the only one who finds it ridiculous that Outlook allows one to have a
phot picture of each contact, for instance, but doesn't allow the user to drag and drop names into a Distribution list? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: It's not really very obvious.
