Email Lists

Staff List Just Teachers List
There is a good reason to use this method to make your distribution list.  This list has all the kitchen and custodial staff removed (their mailboxes get full--because of all the mass emails that get sent out from people that haven't removed them from their list).  All the staff that have moved-on have been removed (some still appear when you use the "find"). 
Brief Instructions (It'll be easier if you print this page first)
  • Click on the desired list above--NOTEPAD will open (the list will appear as one line--it doesn't "wrap")
  • To select all the text, hold the CTRL key and press the "A" key
  • Next, hold the CTRL key and press the "C" key (copy) (we'll come back to this in a minute)
  • Now, open OUTLOOK, go to your INBOX,
  • Look for the icon that looks like an open book--click it. 
  • From its MENU, click FILE,  then choose NEW ENTRY
  • Near the bottom, under PUT THIS ENTRY, change CONTACTS to PERSONAL ADDRESS BOOK
    (If PERSONAL ADDRESS BOOK isn't listed, skip down to the next section---then after you complete that, come back and start at the top)
  • Under SELECT THE ENTRY TYPE, choose "Distribution List"--then OKAY
  • Click the ADD/REMOVE MEMBERS button
  • You'll see a box with 2 panes--right-click on the pane to the right and choose PASTE
  • Click the OKAY button
  • Some of the names will be too much alike some other names, and you'll have to make decisions about who  is the right person. Their schools will be listed--so will the phone number.  A positive ID can be made.   In some cases you will have to use SHOW MORE NAMES, and browse for the name in the Global (not enough time to explain why that happens).  There are only about 5 or 6.
  • You'll want to give your distribution list an appropriate name--like staff-2008
  • Click the OK button and you're done
Create a personal address book
  • From the menu (in Outlook--in the Inbox), choose TOOLS
  • Click E-MAIL ACCOUNTS
  • Choose the "radio button" for ADD A NEW DIRECTORY OR ADDRESS BOOK, then NEXT
  • Choose ADDITIONAL ADDRESS BOOKS, then NEXT
  • Choose PERSONAL ADDRESS BOOK, then NEXT
  • You can give it a name of your choice, or leave the default name (Personal Address Book)
  • You can choose whether the names are listed by first name or last name, then OK
  • you're done---you'll have to re-start Outlook---which means you'll have to start over above as well.
