create a distibution list in Outlook from Excel Spreadsheet
Brian, that worked if I wanted to copy and paste each cell one at a time, but
doesn't seem to work if I have a bunch. It will only paste the top cell if more than one address are selected. It would be no real time savings. I can copy all of the cells to the To: field but don't know how to create a distribution list from there. Any ideas? -- DennisT "DennisT" wrote: How do I create a distribution list from e-mail addresses in an Excel spreadsheet? -- DennisT

If you don't want these contacts to appear in your main contact list, then a (slightly laborious) workaround is in Outlook to create a new pst file, import the contacts into that contact list, create a D/L, and then copy it to your main contact list. However, if you have THAT many contacts in this spreadsheet, it would be far better administratively to import them to your main contact list with a Category assigned to them rather than using a D/L.

... Brian, that worked if I wanted to copy and paste each cell one at a time, but doesn't seem to work if I have a bunch. It does work with all of the items. I tested it. I don't think the article mentions any "To" field. You must have either one or two columns in your spreadsheet: either the mail addresses or the names and mail addresses, one pair per row. Open a new DL, click Select Members. Open the spreadsheet and select the data you want to be in the spreadsheet. To be safe, select the cells containing the name/address pairs, not the entire rows or columns. Right-click the selection and choose Copy. Select the Select Members window again, right-click in the "Members" field and choose Paste. Click OK. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
