I have been asked to supply the contents of an Inbox in some sort of
document form. In other words, they want multiple messages as they appear
in the reading pane, in a document. I am wondering if the messages in our
Outlook 2003 clients can be 'copied' into Word 2003, but not as links, but
the full e-mail text. If this is possible in notepad or wordpad, that will
work as well.

Hope this makes sense, and much appreciation in advance.

Aloha Jim,

Approx how many messages are we talking about? If it's just a handful you
could copy/paste or just do screen grabs of the messages. If it's hundreds
then it gets a little trickier.

Does the document have to be editable or just readable?

Thanks for the reply.

It is quite a few messages, and they do not need to be editable. I know
there are PDF creators out there that use printer drivers, but do any allow
many messages to be input into one document? I don't want one document for
each message, obviously. Also, if this works with Word/Wordpad/notepad that
is good too.

Thanks again.

Aloha Jim,

Sure, select the messages you want to grab, click File | Print, make sure
the print style is set to "Memo". Print to the PDF driver or the Office
Image Writer or whatever you like.

Talk to the manager of whomever made this request as obviously they
don't have enough of a workload to keep them busy. There would be no
point in transcribing all those e-mails into a "document" when the
document already exists in a .pst file that you can give them and they
can open in their own copy of Outlook. You could get a printer
"driver" that creates PDF documents, like PDFcreator (at
sourceforge.net, and free) where you print to the "PDF" printer that
then creates a .pdf file, but I doubt all the headers would be there.
