Saving OL e-mail and Office documents

[Joe McGuire]

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.

No.

Ugghh! 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.*

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.
