Russ,
Thank you for your time and effort, they are really appreciated.
I have already done this instruction set but did it again just now.I suppose
that this would work if I were to add new names. Unfortunately, this does not
display the names that I mentioned previously that are within the "contacts"
button just above "tasks" and below "calendar".

As I mentioned previously, I'm just trying to use the nomenclature that I
see in OL. I see "contacts", "distribution list",.....in the drop down of the
address book when adding a new entry.
