Outlook 2000 eliminates most of the need for Personal Address Books.
Most people use the Personal Address Book for distribution lists or personal addresses.
Distribution lists are now created in Contacts. From the File menu, choose New , then Distribution List from the choices on the menu. The distribution list dialog box will pop up. Any member of any address book to which you have access can be displayed and added to the list. Rather than scrolling through various address books, you can select the address book from the box at the top, right hand side that says Show Names From , then click on Find .
