how do I take a distribution list and make individual contacts
I have some large distribution lists - I'd now like to create individual
contact 'cards' for each of these people - is there a fast way to do it without having to cut and paste each one individually?

You could save the DL as a text file (it's tab-delimited), open it in Excel, save it as a .csv, then import it into Outlook. -- Brian Tillman
