Microsoft Outlook and Word issue

Posted on Tuesday 16 March 2010

  • I am trying to insert an email into a Word document. My expectation is that it would appear as an envelpe icon in the document wherever my cursor is when I do the insert. I have tried cut and paste and only get the first few text lines going into the document. I have tried the insert function from Word and have tried to save an email as a file and then insert but can not get the expected results.


  • Have you tried this: Go to 'Insert', 'object', Select the 'Create from file' tab, Browse, then select your file, Check off the 'display as icon' checkbox. Then 'change icon' Here you would have to have an icon of an envelope, then you can browse and use that for the icon.


  • I tried saving it as .txt, .rtf, .msg, and outlook template and was not able to insert any of these formats into a Word doc where it appeared as an outlook attachment in the form of an envelope. Results from the insert attempts varied from showing the first few lines of text to just putting a bunch of ascii characters in the document.


  • Are you saving the email as a .msg file? If you do that, you should be able to insert it into the Word document.


  • try to create email as html. insert link and type mailto:


  • BTW, you can probably find envelope icons already on your computer by using the search feature for '.ico'.
