How do I use a distribution list to create a mail merge database?

[Guest]

I have a group of customer contacts defined as a "distribution list" in
Outlook. I want to send them all a document with their address and phone
numbers in it. I have sent mail merges before using databases created in
Excell and Acess. How do you create or usae a database from the distribution
list?

You cannot merge to a DL. You can only merge to Contacts.

Thanks for your response. Is there a way to "group" or filter contacts to
merge only those desired?

Of course. Just start your merge from Outlook. It has an option to merge
only to selected Contacts.
