Default Creating a Distribution List in OUTLOOK 2007

No, it does not require you to add them one at a time. Make a view that
shows all email addresses in that domain and remove all other fields from
the view. *Select all*, Copy and paste - you'll have a list of all of the
addresses in the view. http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/copy_data.htm shows
how to do this in Outlook 2003. It's very similar in Outlook 2007.

Paste the list in the Members field, as shown in the video tutorial at

Diane,

Your method still requires adding addresses ONE-BY-ONE and hence is not
applicable to a long list.
I asked for a method to create a Distribution List of all addresses with a
certain feature, e.g., same domain name.

Create a custom view to filter the view so only the contacts you want to
use
are visible. Remove all field but the email address - copy (select 1
address, Ctrl+A, C) and paste into the members field.
See http://www.slipstick.com/tutorials/create/dl.asp - the second set of
steps to create the DL.

Hello,

Is there a way to create a DISTRIBUTION LIST in OUTLOOK 2007 that
contains
contacts with a specific feature WITHOUT adding members one by one?

E.g., I need a distribution list of all contacts whose e-mail address
is
in
a particular domain.

The following sequence DOES NOT work:

CONTACTS --- ACTIONS --- NEW DISTRIBUTION LIST --- SELECT
MEMBERS ----
SEARCH (MORE COLUMNS)

When I entered the domain name in the search window, I got no results.
Thus,
OUTLOOK did not search the entries of the e-mail addresses.

Thank you for your help.

ATK
