MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / August 2007Saving Office Files on Journal?
I am trying to link a word document to a journal, and subsequently to a contact. However, I realize that I have to keep the word file on the location where it was linked initially. Is there a way where Journal can save the file internally so that I may discard the orginal file altogether. This way I can delete word files and avoid clutter by simply keeping them in journal. Thanks very much. AFAIK, the file is not attached to the journal but it is only a reference to the file in the local file system. If you delete the file from your directories on your hard drive, you erase the reference which is all the Journal contains.

However, if I change the file's location, then I cannot open the journal entry. How can I change the file path in order to get Journal to track the file's new location? Thanks again. > AFAIK, the file is not attached to the journal but it is only a reference to the file in the local file system.

I'm pretty sure that Milly was saying that you can't save the Word file directly in the Journal entry. If you delete the Word file, the Journal has no connection to it any longer.

It is settled, I cannot delete the file and expect to open it inside Journal. What I am trying to ask now, is if I can move this file elsewhere and have Journal recognize the new file path. That is, I have all these files that were initially "Journaled" in the desktop, and now that I moved them to a different folder -Journal will not recognize them. > I'm pretty sure that Milly was saying that you can't save the Word file > directly in the Journal entry.
