MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / March 2008Displaying "Job Title" of addresses
I have imported my email list from Express into Outlook but the "groups" didn't come with it so I have to create new groups. My internet provider limits my mass sending to 40 receipants so I have to create many groups. The best way to create these groups is to be able to sort my customers out from all of my contacts by the Job Title I give them. The trouble is that the Outlook Address book doesn't seem to have an option to sort my address book by anything other than Name, Display Name, Email Addreess and SMTP. If I can sort by Job Title than I can easily sort my customers into the groups I want. Can this be done? shawna@happyharborcomics <shawnahappyharborcomics@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote: > I have imported my email list from Express into Outlook but the > "groups" didn't come with it so I have to create new groups.

Select a group, and click Actions>New Message to Contact. Don't bother with DLs or the address book interface for this purpose.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Sorry, I think I may have not be clear. I want to create new Groups by selecting from a "filtered" list of names. Instead of searching through my entire contacts list, I want to sort out the people I want through the Job Titles so I can select them easier to put into a group. > shawna@happyharborcomics <shawnahappyharborcomics@discussions.microsoft.com> > wrote: [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > Actions>New Message to Contact.

Select Views from the toolbar> Arrange by>Current View> Customize View> Define View> Name the View "By Job Title"> Select in Table format> Define the View to include: Full Name Job Title Company etc.... There should be a column that shows the Job Title Field, Right click it and select to Group by this field> Also as a sub category you can Group or Sort by full name.

I thought I understood and I'm telling you avoid distribution lists. I don't know what you mean by "groups", however. SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
