MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / January 2008Distribution List to folder
I have a personal distribution list emailed to me by a coworker and I want to turn the list into a folder so I can import it into a particular program. How do I do this? The contacts themselves do no appear in the contact list - just the distribution list. A DL is a list of names and electronic addresses. Nothing more. Just what did you want to create from this list? What do you mean by "folder?"

We have an application separate from Outlook that will import our contacts from Outlook, but will not directly read or use Outlook contacts or a distribution list directly.

If you want to try to create Contacts out of the information contained in a DL, you would need to save it as a text file, convert it to a CSV file, then import that CSV file into a Contact Folder.

To answer your second question, by folder, I mean when in contacts view, file menu | New | Folder > A DL is a list of names and electronic addresses. Nothing more.
