Default How to add large number of Outlook contacts to distribution list

Is there an easy way to add a large number of contacts, ie 600+, to a
distribution list without having to choose them each individually? I have
them all in an excel spreadsheet also.

Why would you want to? DL's of that size will not work with most mail
servers and are a decidedly poor choice for mass mailing. No one I know of
would use one.

For a recipient list that large I would create a separate Contacts
Subfolder, then use a mail merge to electronic mail.
