Create a Distribution List from Excel
Hi.
I have found lots of instructions online to create a distribution list from an Excel/CSV contacts list. However, all of them seem to involve importing the data into a newly created contacts folder and then creating a distribution list from there. I have a number of contacts lists containing hundreds of rows each and was wondering therefore if there is a way of cutting out the middle step and importing them directly into a distribution list?? Thanks. Liz. |
