I am trying to transfer an email to MS word.2000. I have loaded up the email on Outlook Express 6 and have used copy and past using Ctrl A to highlight all the content. All the text comes through okay but the embedded pictures don’t. I’ve looked at the source in wordpad and the pictures are situated at the end of the file as jpeg code (see an example below ) ------=_NextPart_000_005F_01CB16D7.3428CD20Content-Type: image/jpegContent-Transfer-Encoding: base64Content-ID: <3DB7EE55113B412B89BEDA01713F3CFD@D3RZZK7J> /9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQAAAQABAAD/2wBDAAUDBAQEAwUEBAQFBQUGBwwIBwcHBw8LCwkMEQ8SEhEPERETFhwXExQaFRERGCEYGh0dHx8fExciJCIeJBweHx7/2wBDAQUFBQcGBw4ICA4eFBEUHh4eHh4e I cannot see how I can transfer these to show up in my word doc as pictures. Would using another email reader work or is there anything I can do to copy them into Word. I’m using Windows XP and MS Word 2000 and Outlook Express 6. All up to date with patches etc. Any help gratefully received.1 person got this answerI do too

Save the pictures to your HDD first and the while in Word, use the Insert option and browse to where you saved them.Bruce Hagen ~ MS-MVP [Mail]

Thanks BruceI had already tried saving the pictures direct from the email through Outlook Express and had got a message saying "The System cannot find the file specified". However in preparing to ask this question I had saved the whole email separately in my documents folder rather than in the Outlook Express folder and having read your suggestion I retried saving the picture again. This time it worked. I have also now noticed that in saving the email separately the "Content-Id:" address has been changed - presumably to something that the copy/paste commands can understand.Many thanks again for such a quick and easy answer.RegardsLarry Gru

Not sure why that would not have worked and you would only be saving the picture and not changing the e-mail.Bruce Hagen ~ MS-MVP [Mail]

Hi BruceYes I did use Right Click | Save Picture As but when trying to duplicate the process on another email I realised that my answer is slightly incomplete.Rather than just saving the email into "My Documents" I had actually pressed "Reply" and saved the reply although I didn't send the reply. This seems to have been the factor that changed the address in the Content-Id line. The address that I included in my original question ends in @D3RZZK7J which is my Dell computer tag. The original emails had the image's content-id asEmail removed for privacy. This is the only change which I can see quickly without going through line by line. Not sure why this should make a difference but for some reason trying to Right Click etc on the original email and the saved original email (as opposed to the altered "reply" saved copy) both consistently give me the "Cant find file specified" error message.CheersLarry Gru

The message source does not contain the jpg code for the image. It contains the BASE64 encoded text that then can be decoded to the jpg format (or gif or whatever), so just saving the text after the Content-ID is not going to give you an image. So you need to use the Save Picture as and save it as a jpg (OE decodes the text then) and then you can use Insert | Picture in Word and reference the picture. steve "Larry Gru" wrote in message news:609f271f-06ca-444d-ad99-6d105ca22c20...Hi BruceYes I did use Right Click | Save Picture As but when trying to duplicate the process on another email I realised that my answer is slightly incomplete.Rather than just saving the email into "My Documents" I had actually pressed "Reply" and saved the reply although I didn't send the reply.
