Default distro list - create based on company name

Using Outllook 2007, I am creating distribution lists to mail out school
news letters to our studen't parents.
I used Excel to import the email address into Outlook. I imported last
name, first name, email 1 and email 1 display name. And I chose the company
field for the student's homeroom name.
Now, when I go to create a distribution list, I only get to choose from
their Name, Display Name and Email address when I click on Select Members.
How can I get their 'company' to show as a column? Clicking Search More
Columns doesn't seem to help.
Thanks, Jeremy

The Select Members dialog cannot be customized. Did you use any other way to
identify these Contact groups beside the Company field, like Categories or
separate Contact folders?
If not you could always group these Contacts by the company field, then move
each group into their own separate Contacts subfolder. You can then select
the subfolder as the source in the Select Members dialog after you enable
the subfolder as an email address book in its properties.
