Can you create DL in Outlook if they're not contacts?

**Summer Flower** · June 5th 06, 06:42 PM posted to microsoft.public.outlook.contacts

I will be sending out a blast fax to over 400 hundred people with Outlook
being the software I will be using. I want to create a distribution list.
However, the recipients of this fax are not currently in my contacts
database. My question is this: In order for me to create this distribution
list, do I have to add each of this individuals to my contact database prior
to creating this database? Or, is there some way I can just create this
distribution list? I know in Lotus Notes there was a way I could creae a
group and just type the email addresses. Thanks for the assistance.

You don't have to enter an address into your Contacts before adding it to a
DL. After clicking "Select Members", enter the address(es) in the "Select
Members" field. Separate multiple adresses with semicolons. Click OK to
move them to the DL.
