Here's how to create Distribution List in Outlook.
i. There are a few things you can try if you're having trouble creating a distribution list in Outlook:

Make sure you're using the correct account. If you're using a Microsoft Exchange account, you can only create distribution lists in Outlook if you're an administrator.
Make sure you have the correct permissions. If you're not an administrator, you may not have the permissions to create distribution lists.
Make sure you're using the correct version of Outlook. Distribution lists were added in Outlook 2003, so if you're using an older version of Outlook, you won't be able to create them.
Try creating the distribution list in a different folder. If you're having trouble creating the distribution list in the Inbox folder, try creating it in a different folder, such as the Contacts folder.
Restart Outlook. Sometimes, a simple restart can fix problems with creating distribution lists.
Repair Office. If you've tried all of the above and you're still having trouble, you can try repairing Office. To do this, open Control Panel and go to Programs and Features. Click on Microsoft Office and then click on Change. On the next screen, click on Repair and then follow the instructions.

If you've tried all of the above and you're still having trouble, you may need to contact Microsoft support for help.

ii. Here are some common issues when using distribution lists in Outlook:

Distribution lists not being created: If you're having trouble creating a distribution list, make sure you're using the correct account, you have the correct permissions, and you're using the correct version of Outlook. You can also try creating the distribution list in a different folder or restarting Outlook.
Distribution lists not being saved: If you're having trouble saving a distribution list, make sure you have a unique name for the list and that you're not trying to save it in a folder that doesn't have permission to create new items. You can also try restarting Outlook.
Distribution lists not being sent to: If you're having trouble sending an email to a distribution list, make sure the distribution list is added to the "To" or "CC" field. You can also try adding the distribution list to the "BCC" field to prevent the recipients' email addresses from being exposed.
Distribution lists not being received: If you're a member of a distribution list and you're not receiving emails that are sent to the list, make sure you're subscribed to the list. You can also check your spam folder to make sure the emails aren't being filtered there.
Distribution lists not being updated: If you're a member of a distribution list and you've changed your email address, make sure you update your email address in the list. You can also ask the list owner to update your email address for you.

If you're having any other issues with distribution lists in Outlook, you can contact Microsoft support for help.
