Can I make a distribution list fron contact list

[muddlethrough]

I want to make a distribution list. The addresses are in my Contact List.
There are no entries in my Address Book. Do I need to copy Contacts to
Address Book first. If so, how do I do this? If not, how do I make
distribution list from Contact List

The term Contact List has no meaning in Outlook.
There is no separate address book in Outlook. The address book is simply a
view of your Contacts' email addresses.
Outlook uses Contact Folders in which you can create as many DL's as you
want. It's complicated:
File > New > Distribution List.

You can use the method here if the addresses are in the correct format:

Thank you for your reply. Next related question: When I follow the
prompts
you outlined below, I cannot move or minimize the boxes which block my
list
of contacts. Is there a way to select and copy a number of names at one
time? I was able to get a list and select the names, but then there was
no
way to copy them to the Distribution List. (Hope this is not too
jumbled.)
