From: christophercbrewster via OfficeKB.com on 1 Jun 2010 11:34 The default format for Save As on my Outlook (Office 2007, XP) is HTML. I don't know why this would be useful for anyone, but it isn't for me, and it creates lots of extra files. I'd like the default to be MSG format but the Help system doesn't show a way to change this default. (All it mentions is the option to save in Unicode format.) Any solution to this? -- Christopher Brewster Lockheed Martin, Eagan MN Message posted via http://www.officekb.com

The default Save As Type for HTML messages is .htm; for Rich Text messages it is .rtf; for Plain Text messages it's .txt. The Save As Type defaults cannot be changed. If you want to save it as a msg file, just drag it from Outlook to a Windows folder. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
