Don't click the Check Address button. Just enter the mail addresses and save
the Quick Step. Does that work?

I'll be trying this myself when I get home.

This worked for me. If I entered the addresses manually, all was as I
expected. What also semi-worked was creating a new message, adding a
Distribution List to the To field, expanding that DL, selecting all the
members shown, coping the selection, then pasting that selection into the To
field of the Quick Step. I said "semi", whoever because of your DIsplay As
valiues consist of multiple words (like "Last, First" or "First Last"), only
the last word of each multiword Display As will be resolved and associated
with the address. I had a DL with enteries like "Smith, John", "Doe, "Jane",
etc. The words "John" and "Jane" resolved and displayed the address when I
hovered over it with the pointer. "Smith" and "Doe" were just character
strings that were completely inactive.

Not clicking the "Check Address" button didn't work - when I click save it
still changes from the address to the name.

The copying and pasting did work - thanks so much!!
