Now you’ll want to get some RCA contacts. In outlook click your Contacts.

Step 1: Make an RCA Contacts folder by right-clicking on “Contacts” and select “New Folder…”

Step 2: Name the folder.

Step 3: Now that you have the folder, we want to import the contact list into the folder you created. Go to File / Options / Advanced and click (counter-intuitively) “Export”, which will bring up the Import & Export Wizard. Select Import from another program or file and click Next.

Now we can make a contacts group.

Step 1: While in your outlook contacts, in the upper left, click “New Contact Group”. Once the new group dialog is up, you want to click Add Members, and From Outlook Contacts. 08-new-contact-group

Step 2: Select which address book you want to use; in this case I am making a full RCA Members list.

Step 3: Select all of the contacts in that address book. You will click the first name in the list, then scroll all the way to the bottom of the list. Hold the Shift key down while you click the last name on the list. Once that is done, click “Members ->” at the bottom and it will put all of the contacts into the bottom box.
