Kimsan, I'm glad you asked because I was recalling the method from an earlier version of Outlook. In Outlook 2010, which I now use, I do the following:
Select the messages I want to copy into a text file. Press alt-f Press a for "save as." Then tab away. I hope this method still works in Outlook 2016. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Kimsan Sent: Sunday, December 18, 2016 4:01 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Folders from WLM Adrian: I use outlook 2016. I've always saved emails as .txt individually. How would I save a group of emails as a .txt?

It's the frustrating part of saving messages to text. However, one big advantage with saving a group of emails into a single text file is that you can perform search-and-replace operations to delete lots of repeated text at once. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

On the other hand that is something I wouldn't do because when I save an email, whether as in.eml or.txt format, I always take as much extraneous info out as possible, & I also edit / rewrite the message as necessary. Take Care.

I never figured that one out. Thanks. But now I remember the Outlook difference, as I experienced it from OE. In Outlook, you can save multiple messages to a single text file in one operation. Perhaps Mike B will find that this is also possible in OE, too. In that case, things improved since I gave up on OE lo those many years ago. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Janie Degenshein Sent: Sunday, December 18, 2016 2:54 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Folders from WLM Yes I can do it with the f12 key then tab through the options Good luck woo hoo -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Levy Sent: Sunday, December 18, 2016 1:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Folders from WLM You could copy and paste the email message you want to save into Notepad, and then save it as a .txt file in My Documents.
