exporting a contact group

How do I export a contact group to Windows Excel, or better yet, to Outlook?
I tried to export as a CSV file, but I don't see any way to export from
within the contact group. When I highlight the name of the contact and tell
it to export, the resulting list just shows the name of my contact group as
one of the contacts.

Thanks,
Eugene

Re: exporting a contact group

Thanks for verifying that for me. Is there a way I can move or copy contacts
out of a group into the greater contacts list so they will export with the
rest?

Re: exporting a contact group

Hi Eugene
You dont export groups, only contact.
The only intention of the groups is massive sender.
Too bad! .. I hope they add that functionality in future service pack
"'...collection of contacts that simplifies the process of sending e‑mail to
groups of people..."
