This does not work for me, at least in Outlook 2003. I have done the
following: I select (highlight) a group of messages. I then click the file
menu, and select "Save As"

This produces the "Save As" dialog box. Unfortunately, the "Save" button in
the lower right is "grayed out"

Am I missing something, or does this just not work in Office 2003. Is there
anyother way to accomplish the same thing?

Thanks.

select all, file, save as text.

On my Outlook 2003, this button is unactive (grayed out) until the name
of the file to output to is entered in the dialog box field.

It works in Ol2003 - is the save button dead after entering the file name?
As Rob mentions, you need to enter a file name, Outlook doesn't create one
for you.

Well, that did work -- sort of. There is still on problem. For a lot of
the email messages I am trying to save, all I find in the resulting text
file is a series of headers. The body of the message is not saved.

What puzzles me (and makes me think I am perhaps still doing something
wrong) is that SOME of the messages will save with the body intact; others
will not. So far, I can not see any pattern hinting at why some messages
save with message body, and others save only the header.

Any thoughts? Any way to "bulk save" these files as individual text
messages (without having to save every one individually, one at a time)., I
need to save these messages as text files, but do not care if they end up in
one big file, or a number of small ones.

Thanks
