Create a Distribution List in MS Outlook from a List

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

We have all received e-mail at one time or another that has a list of fifty or so addresses of a group that we belong to and there may come a time when you have to send an e-mail to all of those folks as well, but you don’t know how to create the distribution list without tediously keying in all fifty or so addresses.

The good news is that there is a quick and easy way to accomplish this task!

Follow the steps below to learn how:

*      Select and copy list of e-mail addresses.

*      Open your Contacts folder.

*      Click on File | New | Distribution List.

*      Click on Select Members.

*      In the Name of Distribution List box, key in a name that is intuitive for you for this group.

*      Click on Select Members.

*      The Select Members dialog box will open.

*      At the bottom, where it says Add to Distribution List, you will notice a box that says Members.

*      Click in the box and paste your list.

*      Click OK.

*      Click Save and Close.

It doesn’t get much easier than this!
