I have about 300 contacts in my Outlook address book. I want to send emails
to only the people in one state. How do I find them and do this without
having to scroll through each contact? There has to be a way to create a
distribution list easily.

I would think it should be only a few clicks to create this list and send it
out?

How do I do it?

Thanks in advance.

Your Contacts are in a Contacts Folder, not the Outlook Address Book. Can't
you just filter the view of your Contacts Folder by state using Advanced
Find, then Select All New Message to Contact?

Or create a new view to group or filter by state?

I can filter but when I highlight and right click to select New Message To
Contact, there is not that option.

What are you highlighting? You need to select all the individual contacts you want to send to.

I am highlighting the contacts.

If I right click on ONE I have the option "New Message to Contact"

But if I highlight two or more and right click I do not have that. I get
cut, copy, paste, clear and select all.
