Excel/Outloook query

K

Apologies in advance as this is a mixed query about using excel t
import data into Outlook.

I want to create a new distribution list of 500 or so emails in Outloo
(legitimate use, I'm not a spammer!).

Problem is I do not want to enter each one individually as a in contac
Outlook, so they do not yet appear in the list to select for adding to
DL.

My solution was to create a new contacts folder in Outlook and expor
this blank file to excel.

I then populates the email address and email alias fields with my 50
email addresses. Also populated the emailtype field with value 'SMTP
and the catergories field so that I can merge with my main contacts a
some point and still identify these email addresses.

I then try to import this back into the new balnk contacts folder an
Outlook goes through the motions but nothing is copied to my ne
folder.

Might anyone here know what I am doing wrong? I am sure that thi
should work
