Need to copy contacts into the body of an email

[pd]

Hello all. Outlook 2000 with all necessary service packs
and updates. I want to be able to copy a list of 30
contacts into the body of an email. I have to send emails
every now and then with the names of these individuals
listed in the body of the email. I already know how to
export contacts into an excel spreadsheet. However,
Outlook 2k does not give you the choice to export into
Word. When I export into excel and I copy more than one
name at a time they show up in the email with the
gridlines wrapped around the names from the excel
spreadsheet. I have removed the gridlines from the excel
spreadsheet by doing file>page setup and also
tools>options>view. Is there an easier way to copy the
names? First name and then last name of course. Thanks.
