Default distribution lists in Contacts

Can a distribution list in someone's personal Contact lists be moved or
shared with another person where the detail portion of each contact also is
shared?

No. DL's contain no Contact detail other than name and email address.
What sort of sharing are you trying to achieve? Are you using Exchange
Server?

Default distribution lists in Contacts

Apparently, entries in the person Contact address books has the "details"
portion of the entry completed. They have used these single entries to
create an distribution list located in "Contracts." They now want to share
this distribution list with another but they want the "details" portion of
the entries to travel with the distribution list.

Your message reads like when a distributiion list is created only the name
and email address make up the components of the list, which does make sense.

Thanks for the information.

Correct. The DL can be "shared" by sending it as an Outlook Item to another
user. But any link to the underlying Contact Records from which it was
created is broken.

Default Copy distribution lists

Save it as a text file then use Excel to open it and convert it to a CSV or
Tab delimited file.

Open the DL and click FileSave As. Specify "Text" as the Save As Type. It
will be saved as a tab-delimited text file which Excel can read.
