Distribution lists from Categories

[Evan McCutchen]

Hello,

Is there a way to create a distribution list from the main contact pane in
Outlook when they are arranged by category? I have multiple categories from
which i want to be able to create a distribution list for each, but I can't
find an easy way to do it.

Thanks,

There isn't an easy way to do it. The question is, why do you need to? You
can use categories the same way you would a DL with the added advantage that
they will actually work and leave you with more options. Just select the
Category header in the "By Category" View of the Contacts Folder > Actions >
New Message to Contact.

This is more for Russ as I too am trying to send from Categories but when I
select the Cat header and then go Actions, there is no option "New Message to
Contact" O2003. Any thoughts.
