Default How do i consolidate distribution lists into 1?

I have 20 separate distribution lists that i want to consolidate into 1. I
don't have the emails in contacts so i cannot create a new one from those
contacts. Any suggestions? I also do not want to have distribution lists
within another. I want the new list to only have contacts.
Thanks

Create a new DL and include each of the other DLs as members. You can nest
DLs.

Brian - Thanks for the response, but i do not wnat the DL to be members
because i constantly am cleaning the list and do not want to have to dig into
each of them to figure it out.

Any other suggestions?

The open each DL, click FileSave As, save them as text, and use a tool like
Notepad to compine them into one and edit them as you wish. Then open a new
DL, click Select Members, then go to your open Notepad with the edited list,
right-click, pick Select All, right-cfickCopy, go back to the Members
field, select it and right-clickPaste. Then click OK to enter the members
into the new DL. Save and Close.
