Question

Excel & Outlook

When I try to save an attachment in Outlook, that is a spreadsheet, Outlook takes me back to "My Documents" then I have to scroll to the folder in which i want to save this spreadsheet. If i have more than 1 spreadsheet attached to the same e-mail, each time i try to save the next one Outlook again takes me back to MY documents and i have to once again locate the same folder. It is time consuming when i have 20 spreadsheets to be saved.

How do I save directly to the folder, all of the spreadsheets attached to the same e-mail, so that I do not have to go back to MY Documents?

Thanks !!

Explanation / Answer

Hi..

More a general question than specific to Excel, but if you right click one of the attachments and choose 'Save All Attachments' rather than "Save As", it should do the trick.
