Default Building Category from Distribution List

I moved to Outlook 2007 from OE and have all my mailing lists set up as
distribution lists. Is there a way to do a 'selection' of an entire dl and
code it as a category instead of having to do the names individually. I have
tried it just by selecting the group, then clicking the category I want from
the drop-down box, but it didn't work. Any help would be great!

Default Building Category from Distribution List

Categories can only be assigned to Contact items, not DL members. Most
people create their DL's from their Contacts, so assigning a category to
those Contacts would be easy. If you did not, then you would first need to
create Contacts from your DL members so you can assign Categories to them.
Saving the DL as a CSV file and importing that file would be an easy way to
do that.
