In my Address Book, the left list is the name of the individual (in my
personal address book, next "column is their e-mail address, and in with
those alphabetically is the group name, with no list of the people in it.
I'd have to double click to open the group. When that opens, there is no
way to choose edit. The names are alphabetical and their address only
shows if I double click that name.

I don't know of any way to copy the list

Open address book, you should see your Contacts folder in left pane and
all
it's contacts in the right pane

Click plus sign to expand your Contacts folder.

All your groups should display.

Click one of your groups, all contacts for that group should display in
right pane.

Select the first name to highlight it, then while holding down the shift
key
select one of the other names half way down the list, all contacts
in-between should highlight.

On the Edit menu choose Copy.

Create a new group but do not put any contacts in it.

The new group should display in the left hand pane with all the other
groups.

Click it, then on edit menu choose Paste.

The names your copied from your first group should now display in the new
group.

When satisfied with results delete those names from the first group.

| The number of addresses is too large to send or the message is too
large?

the

one
| (1) new Group with one half of the addresses it in it then delete
those

|

then
| your address in the TO field)?
