Outlook 2002 Address Book

Using the Global Address List, (GAL)

This is the University's Address book.  When using Outlook, you no longer need to maintain a list of all the different University contacts.  To get to the Global Address Book without creating an email, click Tools, and then Address Book.

Now type in the name, and it will come up in the Global Address List.

Using Contacts

The Contacts folder is a place to keep your non-USNH e-mail addresses or personal distribution lists.  Along with being able to store their e-mail address, you can store their mailing address, phone numbers, and many other bits of information.  A contact can be added by highlighting the word Contact in the folder list, and then double clicking in the blank space in the right window.

This will allow you to include information in addition to the e-mail address.  When finished, click the Save and Close button.

Setting up a Personal Distribution List:

A Personal Distribution List is a group of people to whom you can send the same e-mail message simultaneously.  To create a personal distribution list, while the contacts folder is viewed, click on File, New, and Distribution List.

Now give the list a name.  Choose a name that helps you remember what all the people in the list have in common.  When you are finished, click Save and Close.

After clicking OK, this window will reappear.  As you can see, the personal distribution list has been added to your Contacts Folder. To view the membership of a personal distribution list, or a distribution list in the Global Address list (will appear in bold), double-click on it.  A window will pop up that lists the members of the list.
