Bring addresses in a group back into address book

I have erased by address book (ughh!) but just realized that I had created some groups and saved them. How can I put the contents of these groups back into my regular address book?

Greetings, BrentArmstrong !

When you say groups, do you mean distribution lists. Export the distribution list as CSV file. Then import the CSV file into Outlook.

You can save the addresses to a text file by doing the following:

1) Click on contacts
2) double click on the distribution list to "edit/view" it.
3) Go to File -> Save As
4) Save it as a .txt file

If you need to save it as a CSV file, open the text it up in Excel and saved it as a csv file


Best wishes!

Well, I still do not really understand the last solution. I exported my group of addresses as a csv and opened in excel then imported them back. I did not realize that only email and names were saved in the group. So, the bottom line is I have a lot of work ahead of me and will need to make a back-up of my addresses more often!
