Default Add All Contacts In Distribution List As Contacts

Thanks for the reply.

How can I save the distribution list as a text file? I'm not too familiar
with Outlook.

On a side note, for some reason, my Import and Export wizard for Outlook
seems to crash it. Any option that I select and then attempt to click on
Next will cause Outlook to terminate after 2 or 3 seconds.

I can get the error report if that helps; the problem is easy enough to
duplicate. I definitely can't decipher it. Reading hexidecimal isn't
exactly a natural ability.

It takes a couple of steps, but it's not hard: Save the DL as a .txt file. Open it in Notepad to remove the first few lines that don't contain names and addresses. Use the Outlook Import/Export wizard to import the .txt file (actually a tab-delimited file) into the Contacts folder.

Is it possible to add the contacts in a distribution list to a profile's
Contacts list efficiently (not one by one) without adding the distribution
list as just one contact that can be expanded?

I have a user who wishes to have an offline Contacts list for everyone in
the distribution list on their BlackBerry. Unfortunately, you can't expand
the distribution list in the BlackBerry so not all the information is there.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
