I have 367 contacts in my address book that I need to include in a new
distribution list. Must I enter each one individually or is there a way to
import multiple contacts (i.e. drag and drop, highlight and drag &drop, etc)?

Cheers,
David

You must enter each individually.
That alone should inspire you to reconsider what you're doing.
DL's are a poor choice for grouping Contacts. Most of us use Categories or
separate Contact subfolders, depending on our needs.

Thanks Russ - I feel a little silly when it's so obvious.
Cheers,

It's not really very obvious. Normally, Distribution Lists should be fine
for this. They just aren't, so most of us have been forced to look for other
methods.
