I am doing a full system restore on my PC, so I'm trying to backup everthing
before hand. I have the Microsoft Works word proccessing program. I tried
saving Yahoo e-mail by doing a copy & paste to the Works program. I was
able to save, but the text came out poorly formatted once I pasted to Works. Everything was very difficult to read.

Does anyone have some other suggestions on how backup Yahoo e-mail?
I would appreciate any HELP. Thank you.

-jimbob.You can use Word or Wordpad (whichever you have) to save as .doc or .rtf to save FORMATTING, fonts, etc. Thanks, GX1.

I have Wordpad (no Word). I tried saving to Wordpad, but I'm having a simular
problem with the FORMAT. I will say that I'm not familiar with the Wordpad program. Perhaps, I'm doing something wrong.

-jimbob.That is a WEB based e-mail, right? So you are doing a copy and paste for each one by hand?

In Wordpad are you saving each one with an .rtf (Rich Text File) extension?GX1 Man,

Yes, to both parts of your first sentence. No, I was not saving them with an .rtf
extension. That seems to have been the problem. Also, I was not using the
'printable view' mode in Yahoo e-mail. Now, I'm saving with the .rtf extention
and using printable view. Everything looks 100% better. Thanks a lot for help.
I really appreciate it.

-jimbob.I'm glad you are all fixed up! Thanks for posting back.
