How to copy names from an e-mail message and put them into a distribution list

[Mark]

I'm an Outlook novice. The help file is copied below,
problem is that it seems to be unhelpful. When I get to
the "Add to distribution list" box and right click, the
pull down menu doesn't include "paste", it
includes "action>" which leads to "dial" or "internet
call".

There's a different box, under "Type or select name from
list" which I CAN right click and past into. But that
doesn't seem to do me any good because names pasted there
don't seem to do anything.

Can anybody, please, put me on the right tract to
executing this simple function which I've spent 45
minutes dicking around with? E-mails very much
appreciated if you, obviously, delete NOSPAM.

Thanks,

Mark
