what are you using to receive/read your mail? Most mail programs will have a default folder to save mail too, you can find this folder in your settings. Perhaps you could clarify, you saved an e-mail by going to tools?save as, but thats all that happends? You don't get a dialog asking you where to save the file? Or is the problem the fact that when you go to tools?save as, under the document type it will only let you select html? -
hi, studlyami --
what i am trying to accomplish is to save part of an e-mail, just the message and picture involved. then i put it from documents into a folder labelled keepers.
(it would be lovely to put it directly into keepers, but that's for another time).
first off, i mis-stated. i don't do tools>save as, i go to FILE>save as.
and one of the suggestions you gave me was perfect. if i save it from windows mail, which picks up all of my yahoo, it saves as a document, words and pictures.
but it also saves the entire rest of the page, my favorites column over on the left, the bars up top, etc. i don't want all that extra stuff, since what i am trying to save is the images + the text with each one. or just a letter.
when i try to save it thru yahoo, i'm given my choice of web archive single file.mht; web page complete .htm; web page .html only; and text file .txt.
the default is the web archives, single file.
when i click save, it goes somewhere right? where?
at one time i was able to copy and paste the page into my documents, just the photos and accompanying descriptions. i'd be happy to do that, again. now when i try to copy and paste into microsoft office 2007, it gives me the words only, not the images.
(also would like it if i could pick up the movement of images, if its there in the e-mail, but that might be too much to ask.)
so, i hope all the above is clear, and thank you for helping. sambacatComment

What mail program are you using? If you are using outlook you can go to tools->options. Then go to the mail setup tab. Under that tab there is a section which says "Data Files"; click on the button with the same name. This will show you where your outlook is saving its files. *NOTE* this was in outlook 2003 and MS changed a lot of things in 2007. Were you able to copy and paste the entire e-mail into Word 2007 or has it never worked with 2007. I believe Word 2007 has a paste special option, try that option and see if that works. If not you can copy the text as before. Then, right click on the picture and save that one separately. Then you can add the picture to the word file. Its an extra step, but that should work.Comment
