Adding e-mail addresses to the address book

If you frequently e-mail the same information to the same people, you can also build distribution lists. For example, you might build a distribution list of all the students in your class or all of the parents of the students, a list of conference participants for a conference you are organizing, or a list of other educators with whom you share a research interest. Then, when you need to e-mail something to everyone in the group, such as a permission slip, an agenda, or an interesting Web site link, you can choose the distribution list name from your address book instead of each address separately.

To add e-mail addresses to the address book, follow these steps:

1. On the Tools menu, click Address Book.

2. On the File menu, click New Entry. The New Entry dialog box opens.

3. From the Select the entry type field, choose the type of address the new recipient has. If you do not know the type, choose Other Address.

4. In the Put this entry box, the In the radio button should be selected. From the list, select the address book to which you want to add the new address and click OK.

5. In the dialog box that opens, fill the fields with the appropriate information. (If you do not know some of the information, contact your system administrator.) When finished, clickOK.

6. When finished, close the Address Book dialog box.
