Default Adding a new group and important from excel

Hello:

I am using Outlook 2003 and I have gone into my address book (contacts) and
added a new Group name for the purpose of doing mass email. Now that the
group has been created I need to import the names and email's from an Excel
file (csv or xls) into that Group and not where all my other email address's
are. I have tried a couple times to do this and even read the help file but
the list from excel just winds up in with all my other email address's and
that I don't want to happen. Isn't there a way to import a file into a
specific group?

The address book view is never the correct place to enter or edit Contact
data. You must use the Contacts Folder for that.
You cannot import directly into a DL. You can only import into a Contacts
Folder.
