Microsoft Outlook question

[puddy]

Is there an easy way to enter email addresses for mass mailing?  I have about 350 email addresses I want to input into contacts for future group mass mailings and do not relish the idea of putting each email address in one at a time.
Thanks to anyone who can help,
Puddy

It is not for spam or anything evil is it?  

Tools-->Address Book-->New-->New Group

Give name to the group and Select Members for your group.

When you click ok there will be that group under your Contacts.

Right click on that group and choose Send E-mail.

You have done.

Thank you for your reply... no, it is a business news letter.

I understand how to send the mass mailing.  My question is:  Is there an easier way of inputting all the email address into that group?  

Thanks again!

Where do you have that emails?
In the contacts list, word document???

They are in a Word Document.

Paste these addresses to Excel sheet and give names to the columns as “Name”,”Email Address” etc.
Sth like,

Name         Address
Mike              [email protected]
John                    [email protected]


and from File --> Save As.. Comma Separated Values (CSV) from the drop down list.

Go to File-->Import-->Other Address Book... in Outlook Express. Choose Text File (Comma Separated Values) from the list. Click Import , show the place of your address file and Next.
Check all the boxes that show the name of your columns you created in Excel sheet.
Click Finish.
