I often send to a broadcast list that changes frequently so I am constantly
being asked to 'Check Names'. In each case, when I cancel, I am required to
locate, in a very small box with many names, the one name I am having a
problem with, remove it and then restart the check names. Since I often I
have 20-30 invalid addresses, I have to repeat this process of stopping and
restarting many times. I'd like to be able to have Outlook simply skip/delete
the incorrect entries. Is there any way of doing this? I can't believe I am
required to do this one at a time. There's got to be a better way.

Any ideas? Help!

Assuming you are referring to a Distribution List, there's nothing you can
do. For that and other reasons, DL's are a poor choice for grouping
recipients. Few people use DL's and most find better ways to group Contacts,
like Categories or separate Contact Folders (or a different email program).

you can only do one address at a time... but it might be slightly easier if
you press Ctrl+k rather than waiting for check names to come up after
hitting send.
