Creating a Distribution list

To create a Distribution list, click the down arrow next to the New button on the toolbar and choose Distribution List from the menu. Outlook opens a Distribution List form, as shown in Figure 29-10. The form initially is empty, of course; this example shows some names that have been added.

A Distribution list can contain two or more contacts.

To add contacts that are already in your address book, click the Select members button. Outlook displays the Select Members dialog box, as shown in Figure 29-11. If you have more than one address book, you must select the desired one in the Address Book list. Then select individual contacts by clicking (Ctrl+click to select more than one) each one and then clicking the Members button followed by the OK button. You can also select existing distribution lists to add to the new list.

To add a contact that is not in your address book to the list, click the Add New button. Outlook displays the Add New Member dialog box (Figure 29-12). Enter the new contact’s name and e-mail address and select the Add to Contacts option if you want the person added as an individual entry to your Contacts list as well as to this Distribution list. Then, click OK.
