Repeat this process, as needed, until you have added all of the members to the contact group.
Select any contact from the list to add to the contact group, and then click the “Members” button to move them into the box that lists the names of the contact group members at the bottom of this window. The names of the individuals that you have entered into your “Contacts” folder will appear in this window. If using Outlook 2007, use the “Address Book:” drop-down to select the “Contacts” folder. This will bring up the “Select Members” dialog box. If using Outlook 2013:2010, you will then need to select the “From Outlook Contacts” command from the drop-down menu that appears. Click the “Add Members” button (“Select Members” button in 2007) in the “Members” group on the “Contact Group” tab (“Distribution List” tab in 2007) within the Ribbon. In the “Contact Group” window (“Distribution List” window in 2007), type a name for the group into the “Name:” box at the top of the window. If using Outlook 2007, select “File| New| Distribution List” from the Menu Bar. If using Outlook 2013:2010, open the “Contacts” folder and then click the “New Contact Group” button in the “New” button group on the “Home” tab within the Ribbon. To create a contact group, called a “distribution list” in Outlook 2007 and use the Bcc field for confidentiality, you need to have the individuals who will be added to the group listed in the Contacts folder with valid email addresses. Use the Bcc Field for Confidentiality with Contact Groups: Instructions Use the Bcc Field for Confidentiality with Contact Groups: A picture of an email with a contact group name addressed within the “Bcc” field. When you do this, each member of the contact group will receive a copy of the message, but will not be able to see the email addresses of the other members. 
Therefore, for confidentiality purposes, it is better to add the contact group to the “Bcc” field when addressing and sending the email. To maintain contact confidentiality, however, you should NOT use the “To” or “CC” fields when sending the message! Doing that exposes the individual email addresses of the contacts in the group within the header of the email to all of the members who receive a copy! If you would like to review the process of creating a contact group in Outlook 2013, please review the video lesson, titled “ Creating Contact Groups,” shown below.Īfter you have created a contact group, you can send the group an email message by simply addressing the email to the selected group name.
Note that contact groups were called “distribution lists” in Outlook 2007, however they retain the same functionality in both versions.
