DISTRIBUTION LISTS

Andrew - Can you create a new distribution list from an email you have been sent?

RE: DISTRIBUTION LISTS

Hi Jessica

Thank you for your question - give this a try by testing with one or two addresses first and see if it produces the results you are looking for:

Open your email that contains internet recipient email addresses you would like to put into the distribution list. Click into To or CC block that contains the addresses to copy, then use Ctrl+A followed by Ctrl+C to highlight them and copy them.

Open up a simple text editor like notepad (usually from Start > Programs > Accessories > Notepad)

Paste in the addresses and tidy them up by replacing the separator commas with semicolons

Highlight and copy the edited block of addresses.

Switch to Outlook and create a new distribution list. Click on Select Members then click in the cell beside the Members > button and paste in your edited list of email addresses (use control + V) then click OK.

This will create a list of external internet email addresses and avoid you having to retype them all.

Hope this helps - let us know how you get on.

Kind regards,
Andrew

Microsoft Office tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Office 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
