I have a list of over 100 email addresses. I need to get them into a
distribution list without having to type them all again. Is there a way to
copy and paste?

The email addresses are in word. I would like to import them to my contacts
and then from there I can create the distribution list. I just don't know
how to add them all to my contacts without doing it one by one.

Just put them into a file format that Outlook can import. CSV seems to work
best for most.

If the list of addresses in in this form:

name1 address1@domain1
name2 address2@domain2

With one name/address pair per line, then yes. Otherwise, no.

use a facility convert text to table for converting email addresses to
table and then copy paste it to excel. Then save excel file as CSV
format. and then import it from outlook.
