How do I save an email as document/file?

I need to save an email as a document/file for business.  When I right click the email, I am not given the option to do so.  I also tried to drag it into the finder, but didn't work.  I'm a recent convert to the Apple world.  Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

You can also copy and paste the text of the message into a Word Processiing program.
Also in the email program I use, Thunderbird, there is an option to save an email as a Text fFile. Not sure about what email program you are using. If it's Mac Mail that may not be an option.

  • How can I save multiple emails as separate files with 1 export?

    I need to save hundreds of emails as separate files.  If I select all of the emails, then export as PDF, it doesn't save with their Subject titles, just numbers.  If I try prints, save as pdf, it consolidates them all into 1 file.  If I try to save as txt files, it only saves the first message.  If I try dragging and dropping the emails into a folder, it won't let me (only one at a time).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I believe there is a third party app that saves email(s) as pdf's:

    I downloaded a PDF from an email and have been trying to save the file in my document file.  When using Snow Leopard I used to hit Command S and it would ask me where I wanted to save the document.  i just got an iMac with Lion and when I hit Command S I get nothing.
    Welcome to Lion's new feature: Versions
    How do I save a document using Lion? 
    To save a NEW copy in Preview:
         File->Export
    You said that you d/l'd a PDF in Mail, so why not just click the "Save" button in Mail?
    (Make sure that you click the "Details" button in Mail)
    In Mail:
    BTW, I'm very happy with Lion.  (In regard to all the negative Lion posts, ask yourself if you're more likely post a comment here telling us how happy you are with features of Lion, or to complain about something that's changed).

  • How can I save an email as plain text when the save as is greyed out?

    How can I save an email message as a plain text document if the saved as command is greyed out? I am using OSX Mountain Lion. Macbook Pro thanks.

    OK, but is it happening to you with all messages or just some messages? If just some, can you characterize which ones? (Maybe messages with only one "alternative*" form, or with the "wrong" alternative for displayed, or messages containng images but no text?)
    * By "alternative" form, I mean in the sense of Mail > View > Message > Previous Alternative or Next Alternative or Plain Text Alternaive or Best Alternative.)
    Similarly, can you characterize the circumstances under which you cannot save an attachment?

    Yes there is, if you hold down the attachment widget in the email once the video is downloaded, it will give you a series of options to save it to, including camera roll. 
    Hope this solves your question.

  • HT2500 How do I save an email with 400 other emails in it, as a PDF?  There is supposed to be a way.

    I selected all the emails in a mailbox. Opened a new email, clicked in the body and click edit>append something or other.  All the selected emails from the mailbox appeared in the new email.  I click print and mail locks up and I have to force quit.  It's supposed to open a print dialog box in which I should be able to click PDF in the lower left corner... but I can't get that far.  How can I save these emails as a PDF?
    Thanks.

    try select all, drag to the desktop, with all the emails highlighted, command p, pdf, after they are pdf make a new folder and drag them into the folder

  • How can i save a large pdf document in two parts

    how can i save a large pdf document in two parts

    i cannot figure this out, either. and i am also not able to set a custom page size to tile (in this case, tabloid/landscape). the dialog box defaults to my ppd for my epson printer (max size = letter) even when i select the drop down for "printing" to a post script file. I've been using illustrator since it's first release and i'm really surprised that this is rudimentary step in finalizing docs for release has been complicated.

  • How do I save a Pages 2012 document as an iWork '08 file?

    How do I save a Pages 2012 document as an iWork '08 file?

    Kev,
    The File > Save... dialog seems to be only available for documents that are in an "unversioned" state. (I don't know what the official title is for the condition of having a document that is unmodified from its initial naming, so I'll call it "unversioned", meaning that it hasn't had a version update to it's base state.
    If you start from a template your first save will be a File > Save... Right after this first Save, your document has no Version History. It's "unversioned".
    If you File > Duplicate you have created a new document in an "unversioned" state and your next Command-S will give you the option to save a copy to '08 format, the same option you had during your first document save.
    My understanding of this situation is that any file with a Version History is stored across two files, one with the base document and one containing the revisions, the changes you've made since the initial save. Save a Version updates the file containing the changes. File > Duplicate combines the base file and the revisions into one new base document, ready to be Saved. After saving, if you make some changes in this new document your option is again to Save a Version or Duplicate and the cycle continues.
    There are also Revert options that I haven't discussed, but I haven't studied them to know what the menu behavior is.
    I know it can seem confusing and I'm not defending it, but I will recognize Apple's right to try to move the technology forward and I accept that I can learn what's going on and move with them, or I can get off the bus and watch it go down the road without me. It's not the first time I've had to try to figure out what's going on, and I'm sure it won't be the last. If you think I have the logic wrong I'd love to discuss your observations. I'm not interested in discussing if Apple should be doing this or not.

  • How to save my emails and adressbook files from an old ibook?

    How to save my emails and adressbook files from an old ibook (bought around 2002) ?
    The screen from the old ibook doesn´t work anymore (logicboard problem I guess).
    I saved everything else with starting it in target modus. That worked fine.
    I want to delete the files after that as well, because I wanna give away the old ibook and don´t want anyone to read my emails!
    Little helpers I have:
    A running MacBook
    External Screen (and cables to connect)
    Fire Wire Cable

    Don't know how helpful this will be but I often copy mail from one computer to another, I drag the mail from the mail window to the other computers drop box, then from the other computer double click it and mail asks me what I want to do with it, of course without a screen you'd need to use back to my mac.
    If you don't have back to my mac running, you could set up a second user account on the newer mac, import everything via target mode as suggested by c above, and then drag the mail to the first user account drop box.

  • HT201250 how do i save selected emails to time machine?

    how do i save selected emails to time machine?

    Don't put emails you want to save into the Trash. In the mail sidebar you should see an "On MY MAC" section below the Inbox, Trash, Junk, etc., mailboxes. You can create mailboxes in this section for emails you want to save. (I suggest you check out Mail help & at least read the overview info.)
    Also, there is no point in looking for individual email files in Time Machine backups (or for that matter in the Mail folders on your HD). They are stored with names that won't make sense to you & cross-linked with database & other files Mail maintains.
    You are making this harder than it is. Just let Time Machine back up everything & it will take care of the rest of it.

  • How do I save my email attachments that are sent as a word file

    How do I save my email attachments that are sent as a word file

    You need an app that you can use the Open In function and save the file into that is compatible with Word files like Pages, Smart Office and now Mocrosoft has a Word App for the iPad. It is a read only version unless you subscribe to. Office 365, as far as I know anyway, but it is free and you can save the file to the app.
    Search the App Store for other alternatives.

    You have 17 options to save as in Open Office, one of which is .doc  files,  yes it needs to be saved manually.
    You may be able to default to DOC, but have not tried same.
    Since Open Office is 99% same as Word, I use it, or Word, either one.  Open Office is a bit less buggy than Word 11'

  • How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture file?

    How can I change a Microsoft Word document file into a picture or jpeg file? I am wanting to make the image I created my background on my macbook pro.

    After I had the document image the way I wanted it, I saved it as a web page and went from there. Below are the steps starting after I did the "save as" option in Word:
    1) Select "Save As Web Page". I changed the location from documents to pictures when the window came up to save it as a web page.
    2) Go to "Finder" on you main screen, or if it's on your main toolbar at the bottom.
    3) Click on the "Pictures" tab and find the file you just re-saved as a web page. (I included "web page" or something similar in the new title so I could easily find the correct file I was looking for)
    4) Open the correct file and then "right click" on the actual image. (Use 2 fingers to do so on a Mac)
    5) Select 'Use Image As Desktop Picture", and voilà! The personally created image, or whatever it is that you wanted, is now your background.
    **One problem I encountered while doing this is that the image would show up like it was right-aligned in relation to the whole screen. The only way I could figure how to fix this was to go back to the very original document in Word, (the one before it was saved as a web page), and move everything over to the left.
    I hope this helps someone else who was as frustrated as I was with something that I thought would have been very simple to do! If you have any tips or suggestions of your own, please feel free to share. : )
