Hi, I followed the instructions above to embed the email as an object. But when I click on the email within the word document, it is not opening. Do you have any tips? Thanks

I use drag and drop for saving emails in Word Document. But because the default Email Object size is too big, i am changing all object size - Right Click, Object Format, Size Hight - 1cm - OK. Iam saving this way hundreds of emails in Word Documents and searching for some trick how to save some time. Is it possible to User define the Object Size?

I've found when my directory path and subject message exceeds 256 bytes, the drag & drop or Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V fails. I need to shorten the path/msg subject line. You might shorten the subject of your message and move it to a top level folder - like the Draft folder before dragging and dropping.
