Moving contact from distribution list to Contact folder
When one creates a distribution list, a check box option is given to also add
the name and address to the Contacts folder. Once the distribution list is created, however, is it possible to add those names and address to the contact folder? If so, how? Thanks for any ideas. -- William

It isn't. You can only save the DL in a format that you can then import into
Outlook. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "William" wrote in message ... When one creates a distribution list, a check box option is given to also add the name and address to the Contacts folder.

Thanks for taking the time to respond. Would your tip mean saving as a pst file and then importing, or is there a superior approach? -- William "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: It isn't.

No. Just save it as a text file, clean it up in Excel so that each column
has a header, save as CSV, then import the CSV file. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "William" wrote in message news  Russ Thanks for taking the time to respond.

Moving contact from distribution list to Contact folder
Russ, I'm almost there, but have one additional problem. I have created a
cleaned up csv file of the distribution list. There are two columns, the headers of which are "Names" and "Email." But when I import this csv file into the contacts folder, only the name shows up. The email address is not imported. I tried renaming the email address column "EmailDisplayName," but that doesn't work either. Any ideas where I'm going wrong? Thanks.

How did you map your fields?
Are the email addresses valid? -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "William" wrote in message ... Russ, I'm almost there, but have one additional problem.
