Follow the simple steps below to copy email addresses from Excel to Outlook.
In your Excel file, organize all the email addresses you want to email. Place them in a single column, ensuring each email address is in its own row. This setup is crucial for easy copying later.
To make the emails compatible with Outlook's format, use an Excel formula to join them with semi-colons. In a new column beside your emails, enter the formula =A2&";" (assuming your emails are in column A).
Drag the fill handle down to apply this formula to all email cells, creating a semi-colon-separated list in the new column.
Open Microsoft Outlook on your computer. After logging into your account, click on 'New Email' or 'New Message'. This action opens a blank email template where you can add recipients, a subject, and the email body.
Go back to your Excel file and copy the concatenated email addresses from the new column. Then, in the Outlook email window, paste these addresses into the desired field: 'To', 'Cc', or 'Bcc'. The semi-colon separation ensures each address is recognized as a separate recipient.
Compose your email by adding a subject in the subject line and writing your message in the body. Attach any necessary files using the attachment options. This step is where you personalize your email for the recipients.
Before sending, review your email for any errors or omissions. Once satisfied, click the 'Send' button. This action will send your email to all the recipients you pasted from Excel.
