Default Adding Contacts to Outlook & Distribution Lists

Hi there,

I am presently trying to reorganize and better manage my Outlook 2003
Contacts. I am wondering if it is possible to add a new contact and add them
to a distribution list in one step; is this even possible?

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

DLs are not a very robust way of managing Contacts. Separate Contacts
folders and categories are the preferred management tools.

How to mail merge? In Outlook, click Help, then enter "mail merge" in the
search field.
