Default How do I copy members of one distribution list to another?

Help - I am trying to follow these steps using Outlook 2007, when I right

Your first goal might be to rid yourself of distribution lists and use
separate Contacts folders or categories. However, one way to accomplish
what you want is to save one DL as a text file (open the DL, click FileSave
As and specify "Text only" as the "Save as type"), creating a tab-delimited
values file, opening that file in, say, Notepad and selecting the members
you want to transfer, using right-clickCopy or CTRL-C to put the selection
in your clipboard, then open the other DL, click Select Members, place your
cursor in the Members field and pressing CTRL-V or right-clickPaste to add
the clipboard contents to the members list. Click OK and the members will
appear in the DL. Save and close.
