Default create a distribution list from my contacts

Is there a way I can create a distribution list from my contacts and not have
to add in each one seperately. If I have a DL that needs 125 people added,
can I somehow select them and put them in a DL without typing them
individually?

Thanks

Maybe you should look at using categories rather than a Distribution List.
See my sig for more info.

How do I add a category to an existing contact?

What do you mean "See my sig for more information"? I didn't see a link to
anything.

Is there a way to add a category and then add several contacts to it at once
and not have to do that individually?

Thanks

Yes. Select all the ones you want in a certain Category, right click,
Categorize.
