Creating an Outlook Distribution List - Microsoft Office Help Tips

Outlook and many other e-mail clients have a feature that allows you to send an e-mail to multiple recipients at the same time by using a distribution list. This way when you send an e-mail you simply put the distribution list name in the To: box.

To create a distribution list in Outlook go to File, then New and pick Distribution List. You will see a window similar to the following.

You can then click on the Select Members button to bring up your address book and add names to your distribution list. You can add addresses that are not in your address book by clicking the Add New button and manually typing them in.

When you are finished, click on Save and Close to save your list. Give the list a distinctive name when saving it. Then when you want to send an e-mail to your distribution list you will click on the To: button in your e-mail and pick your newly created list from your list of addresses.

If you need to edit your distribution list later on to add or remove addresses you simply go to your contacts folder and double click the distribution list. Then it will bring up the same box as shown above and you can make your changes.
