When you say contact and their e-mail address I assume you are talking about
the *contact name* and e-mail address. If you wanted to include all
information in your contact files you can.
For the quickest way until you edit your contacts. Open windows mail and
create a new message. Click To: and add the group to the message and go
ahead and fill in the Subject: field. Now all you will see in the To: field
is the name of the group. Click on File then Save. This will save your
message to your Drafts folder in WM. You can now close the new message
window. Now go to your draft folder and click or double click the message
you saved. The message will open. In the To: field you will see the names
and address of the group separated by (
go to the end of the list of names
in the To: field and click so the insertion point is blinking. Now using the
Shift key and mouse move the insertion point to the beginning of the To:
field for that group (Shift Click) this will highlight or select all the
names and address. Now Right click the selected text and choose Copy from
the context menu. Move to the body of the message window and click in it so
you see the blinking insertion point. Right click and from the context menu
select paste. This will paste all the names and address's in the body or the
message window. Now highlight/ select the To:Field and Cut all the names and
address. You can now go ahead and edit all the names and address if you want
to, to a top to bottom list. Just click and Enter. (Note: that everything
you see as to contacts is based on how you have organized your contacts
files.) Now send this email message to your self plus the person you want to
have this list, if you want. When you open the message you sent your self
you can print it, copy to another app generally do anything you want.
In order to Print these groups directly from your contacts folder you would
need to edit the contact file of each person in a group using Properties.
You can open the contact file and in the Notes field or Title field or any
field of your choosing add the gp name. In the Note field first line of the
contact I would ,add ,by example *My Group. If this person is a member of
other groups say the Card Group I would place that group name in the note
field as **Card Group right after the *My Group.
Once you organize your contact files consistently you can use your contacts
folder which is a Window Explorer by adding the heading in the headings
column to correspond to the prosperities you have filled in. So now I would
open the contact folder and add the Note Property to the heading column and
by clicking the notes column to sort I would see every contact that was in
the *My Group group and alphabetically. I then could select all the *My
Group from the notes field and on the command bar choose Print. From the
Print dialog I would choose my printer (I use the XPS document writer) this
gives me a chance to edit the print job before I print, if I don't like what
I see, Plus I can copy it to another app if I choose, for more precise
editing. Bottom line is how well you organize and your consistency in your
organization of your contact files will make doing anything with contacts a
little quicker, simpler and more precise.
