Outlook Tip:

Distribution Lists (Final Part (Part 6)):

Share a Distribution List with another User

You can share a Distribution List, or any other Contact, with another user. Keep in mind that any changes made to your list will not be seen in the list sent to another person, as they are separate files. Open a new email message and address the message as usual. Click on the drop-down arrow next to the Attachment button and choose Item.

In the Insert Item dialog box, select the Contacts folder in the Look in list.  Next, select the Distribution List that you wish to send in the list at the bottom of the box.  Click OK. Complete the email message as desired and Send.

Save a Distribution List Shared with You

If a Distribution List (or other Contact) is emailed to you, you must first save it to your Contacts folder before you can use it for sending email. Open the message with the attached Distribution List.  Double-click on the attachment.  The Distribution List will open. Go to the File menu and select Copy to Folder….Select the desired Contacts folder and click OK.
