Inside your Gmail compose window, there’s an inconspicuous yet helpful shortcut to add contacts to your messages. To do so:

• Click directly on “To,” “CC” or “BCC” to display the “Select contacts” dialog box.
• To locate personal, group and NC State Directory contacts, select the “My contacts” drop-down menu. You also have the option to search for a contact or check “Select all” in the “Select contacts” dialog box.
• Choose contacts.

Want to create a personal contact group? Select “Save as group” at the bottom of the “Select contacts” window.
