Create Individual Contacts from a Distribution List

Use this method to save the names and addresses distribution list members.

1. Open the DL
2. Go to the File, Save as menu. (This is the Office icon menu in Outlook 2007)
3. Choose to save as a *.txt file.

This saves the DL as a text file. You can edit it or forward it to other users.

In this tutorial, I'm extracting the names from a DL so I can import them into Outlook as individual Contacts.
