Creating a Distribution List in OUTLOOK 2007
Gordon,
Thank you very much!
Using Categories instead of Distribution Lists is indeed a great idea.

Gordon,
Search Contacts for the domain name, select all the results and add a
CATEGORY to them.
Is there a way to create a Distribution List of all contacts in a given
Category? I could not find one.
Categories are a much better and more robust way of managing the same thing
without creating D/Ls which are flaky and difficult to manage.
If you add a Category to a selection of contacts you don't need to further
create a distribution list. Just view Contacts by Category, highlight the
requires category and do Actions-Create-New Message to Contact.
The advantages of Categories over D/Ls are many - you add the category to a
contact, not the contact to a D/L - a contact may have multiple categories
assigned to it - Categories are far more suitable when there are large
numbers of recipients, if you want to remove a contact from a particular
category you just remove the category from that contact.
I think you'll find that when you get into Categories, you'll never want to
see another D/L again! It's SO much easier to manage.
