OL97: How to Simulate a Distribution List Without Using a PAB (187960)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q187960 SUMMARY
In Microsoft Outlook 97, a personal distribution list is a collection of e-
mail addresses that you create and add to your Personal Address Book (PAB)
as a single address. When you address a message to a personal distribution
list, a message is sent to each e-mail address in the list.
A personal distribution list requires that you have a PAB, and each person
you want to include in the distribution list must be added into the PAB.
If you have a list of e-mail addresses in a document, but do not make
entries for each in your PAB, you cannot create a personal distribution
list.
This article explains how you can create an Outlook template to simulate a
distribution list.
