Thank you very much all who responded to this enquiry. If anybody might happen to have similar directions for outlook 2000 or any other version please feel free to send them to the list or privately to me if you would rather. It hadn't occurred to me that we were lacking in this area until the question was posed to me early this morning.

David, Debbie did one for OE for the JFWlite page that I think is what you had in mind. Margaret How to Create an Address Book Group (Distribution List): 1. Press CTRL-SHIFT-B to open the Address Book. 2. Press CTRL-G to execute the New Group command. 3. Type the name that you want to give to the group. 4. Tab to the Select Members button and press ENTER. 5. Tab 3 times to the list of contacts. 6. Arrow up or down to select the name you want from the list of contacts. 7. Press ALT-T to add the name to the list. 8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 to add additional names to the group list. 9. When done adding names, press ENTER. 10. Back in the Group property sheet, tab to OK and press ENTER. 11. Press ALT-F then X to close and exit the Address Book. You will now have an entry for the group in your address book. To send a message to the group, simply use the group name in the to field. (Or the bcc field if you don't want them to know each other's addresses.) To delete an an address from a group. Press control shift B to open the address book. Tab to the treeview. If you hear main identity closed, press the right arrow to open it and arrow down to the name of the group. Tab to the listview of names and while focused on the address, press the delete key. To add an address to a group. Press control shift B to open the address book. Tab to the treeview. If you hear main identity closed, press the right arrow to open it and arrow down to the name of the group. Press enter on the name of the group. Add another name as before by tabbing to the select members button and following the rest of the steps above. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Ferrin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, October 23, 2006 8:40 AM Subject: [jaws-users] creating distribution lists I was just reviewing the tips and tricks page and it occurs to me that although there are instructions for posting to multiple contacts in your address book they stop short of explaining how to put such a list of people in to a single contact group. I could work on this myself of course but if somebody out there already might happen to have these instructions ready to go then I wouldn't need to reinvent the wheel so to speak.
