I put all addresses into dist. lists & want them back in contacts
In Outlook 2007, I created two distribution lists using all of my contacts,
and then deleted all addresses from the address book contacts list. I thought I could still send individual messages to members of the distribution lists, but have not been able to do so. I think I need to reinstate all addresses to the contacts list but don't know how to do that. Turns out I don't really need the distribution lists after all -- I just want to be able to send email messages to individual contacts again, as it was before I created the two distribution lists. PLEASE HELP! Thank you.

PLEASE HELP! Thank you. You have a bit of work to do. Save each DL as a text file. This will product a tab-separated values files, one for each DL, which you should then edit to remove the header records. You can then import those files into your Contacts. You'll have to manually add all the other contact data, since DLs contain only name and email address for each member. I'm surprised you didn't test this prior to deleting the contacts. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook]
