In Conyacts: I click on TOOLS, FIND, ADVANCED FIND, MORE CHOICES TAB,
CATEGORIES and click the category "family". I click FIND NOW and the search
produces a list of 10 contacts. I want to send a announcement by e-mail to
these 10 people but not one by one. How do I do it? How do I group them.
I don't want to share e-mail addresses with each other, Will the recepients
all show in the To: or could the be in th Bc: pane

Firstly, I would not use a Search to get to all of the people in that
Category.
Go to the By Categories view of the Contacts folder.
Now they'll be grouped and you'll have a heading "Family" for that Category.
Select those Contacts ( I do it by grabbing the heading) and drag to the
Sent Items folder (or ANY email folder). Outlook will place their names in
a new email (in the To... field). Select their names again from the To..
field and drag to the BCC field.
If you don't have a BCC field, use HELP to find how to turn it on as it is
different in some versions and you didn't state your version :(
Another way is to mailmerge to them. This lets you personalise each email.
There are many posts here about how to do that - try a search in this
newsgroup on Mailmerge.

I don't understand how to "go to the By Categories view of the Contacts
folder" Please clearify.

Turn on the Advanced Toolbar - it's the fastest way to the Current View
window and other great functions.
