how may I create distribution list from group of addresses given in word and
excel format without retyping each individual name, address, tel#, etc?

Thank you.

BTW, DLs only use email addresses. if you want to create contacts with the
phone #, import the list to outlook using file, import then create a dl
using those contacts.

Follow-up question: The addresses I am trying to use to create the
distribution list are in an email with the display name format [lastname,
firstname] and when I paste them into the distribution list address window it
seems to interpret the comma in the display name as a delimiter. The display
names are all separated by a semi-colon but it rejects even a single address
with this display format. Is there any way I can extract both the display
name and email address to form a distribution list?
