    By reading your post your question is about adding new contacts to your MAIN contact list, not your Group contat list.

    Is that right ?

    If yes, please follow these simple steps..yes................

    How to add new contacts to your main contact list :

    To access your main contact list:

    Open outlook.com > top left next to the logo Outlook, there is a down arrow > click the arrow > click People > All your contacts are now listed on the left. Scroll down to see each contact.

    How to add new contacts :

    In the same People window, toolbar at top, click New > enter the required info into the boxes > click Save when done.

    To Edit your contact list :

    Click at the contact's name ( NOT its check box ) > toolbar at top, click Edit.

    Note :

    1. Edit option will not appear until you have selected a contact.
    2. Edit option will not appear if you click at the contact's checkbox.

    To delete a contact from the list :

    Just click at the contact > toolbar at top, click Delete.

    Another vote for the MS sucks brigade.

    How can something so bloody obvious not be there?

    For the record Win 7 was **** - Win 8/8.1 beggars belief.
