MS Office Forum / Outlook / Interop / March 2008Saving OL e-mail and Office documents
Speaking of interoperability, is there any good way to save e-mails (Inbox, Sent Items, perhaps even drafts) with other Office documents, such as Word, Excel, etc which will preserve some or all the functionality of OL? I am looking for a way to take all the e-mail I have received or sent in connection with a particular matter and save it together with my Word, Excel, and PP docs for that same matter, and in a way that lets me view the collected stuff just as I would in OL? Of course I know I can go through the tedious chore of opening each and saving it with a unique name. For many matters that could take hours! That method stinks because it is a pain in the butt and viewing the e-mails will not be anywhere as easy as in OL. And I know I can create subfolders in OL for the particular matter (in the Inbox, Sent Items, Drafts, maybe more), but the stuff will remain in my PST file instead of the folder for the matter. I would appreciate any suggestions. > Speaking of interoperability, is there any good way to save e-mails > (Inbox, Sent Items, perhaps even drafts) with other Office documents, [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > and in a way that lets me view the collected stuff just as I would in > OL? No.  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Ugghh! Thanks!

Thanks! (Not even any third party products?) The only app that can read Outlook files and provide the functionality of Outlook is Outlook. This is no different than saving Word documents. If you want to provide the functionality of Word, you must open the documents with Word.* SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] *Ok, or StarOffice or OpenOffice Writer. Do they need to be in email format? you can select File Save as and save several in one document. Acrobat can do something similar but in PDF format. You could also print to an electronic format - if you have OneNote, send them to onenote.
