Forwarding a Distribution List in Outlook 2007

A common request I receive is how to send a distribution list to another Outlook user.  There are actually two ways to do this and I’ll go over them both below.  I’ve also included how the other person can save it to their own contact list.

1. Open your Contact Tab
2. Find the Distribution List you’d like to forward
3. Option one to send
    a. Right-click the Distribution List
    b. Select Send Full Contact > In Outlook Format
    c. An email window will open with the Distribution List as an attachment
    d. Send the email to your colleague as if you were sending any other email
4. Option two to send
    a. Double-click the Distribution List to open it
    b. Click Send in the Actions tab
    c. Select In Outlook Format
    d. An email window will open with the Distribution List as an attachment
    e. Send the email to your colleague as if you were sending any other email
