Subject: Saving files to zip drive
Date: Mon, 15 Nov 1999 17:03:33 EST


I'd like to know if there is a way of doing this short of what I've been
doing. I have literally hundreds of genealogy e-mails that I have saved in
my AOL personal filing cabinet. I have created categories with file names
and e-mails stored in each. In some file folders I have sub-folders. The
only way I can figure to save them to disk where they are easily opened and
accessed is to save each e-mail in a word processing file (I use Word) and
then save them either in folders on a zip disk or on the hard drive. I have
a wonderful software program called PaperMaster which is a filing cabinet
with drawers in which you place files and documents in each file, just like
an actual filing cabinet. But the only way I can figure out how to get them
in there is to go to the intermediate step of copying the e-mail to Word
first. I had to do something because my AOL Personal Filing Cabinet is so
large that it takes forever for aol to open. Thanks for sharing any answers
that come to you.
