[jaws-uk] Re: Backing up files

Hello Linda,

It is easy to do when you know how, you can save all e-mail's into a text
doc which saves on the size to put on a floppy, and after you can go into
the doc and put bookmarks to find certain e-mails, if this is what you want
to do read on.

First create a named folder on your floppy, "you need the folder to make it
work" then go into your Outlook Express or where ever your emails are, then
alt F +T, arrow to "Export to a file" press enter, arrow to "Tab Separated
Values (Windows)" press enter, arrow to the folder were your emails are
stored press enter, Tab to Browse press enter, find and select the new
folder on floppy, tab to File name give it a name, tab to Save as type make
sure it says "Tab Separated Values (Windows)" tab to OK press enter, tab to
Next press enter twice and wait.

All your messages can then be read on one long text doc.

Hope it is helpful to you.

  Subject: [jaws-uk] Backing up files


  Hi

  My computer has been crashing quite a lot lately - probably flagging from
the heat like me! So I decided the time had come to get around to backing up
all the files I've carefully squirreled away in Outlook Express folders...

  However, it seems this task is not as easy as I thought and I'm a bit
stuck. I've tried copying the files in the usual way and pasting them
straight onto a floppy disk from Windows Explorer, and also tried moving the
files to there as one does between folders in Outlook Express. i.e. by
picking up the files using shift and control plus v...

  But still no luck, so can anyone out there tell me how to do it please?

  Thanks in advance.

  Lynda
