how can I copy multiple Excel files from Outlook (all at once) into Excel?

Is there a way to do this? When I right clik ONE file attached to the email,
I can copy it, either using My Computer, or opening the directory within
Excel. BUT, if I clik 2 or more, and try to copy & paste, it doesn't work. I
have 16 files to copy. Can you help?

Also, why is it so annoying and hard to find a solution to this??? I've been
looking online using microsoft "Help" (not too damn helpful!) for over 30
minutes. Simple searches do NOT yield a solution!!

I can't understand why I can't just cut & paste multiple attachments from
Outlook to Excel (or any other application I want to use...).

Any real help you can give me is appreciated. Thanks.

Cut and paste is probably the most awkward way to try to work with files attached to email messages. Why not use the File | Save Attachments command? That's the quick and easy way to get the attachments out of Outlook into the desired directory.
