Hi - Although I am a relatively new user to Outlook I am somewhat computer
literate. Here's my scenario...........I get an email with attachments
(usually an excel spreadsheet) I know how to save the excel spreadsheet to my
computer - but I also want the actual body of the email to be saved along
with that. What I have been doing, in a roundabout way, is creating another
tab in the excel spreadsheet, calling it email body, then copying and pasting
the email body text into excel, then reformatting it and saving the whole
thing in excel. It just seems that that is a pain. I'm thinking I'd like to
save the email as a PDF or something! THere's got to be a better way :)
Thank you in advance.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Do you want a standalone file
that contains both items (the message & attachments)? What program do you
want it to be usable by?

Sorry for the interrogation but I'm just trying to generate a possible
answer :-)
 
Don't be sorry...you're trying to help me :)
YES - I want a standalone file that contains both items (the mesage & the
attachments) and I want it useable by Excel.
 
I don't think there's a format that Excel can use that can contain both.
 
I think your solution of pasting the text portion of the mail on to it's own
tab might be the best solution
