Title: Copying a thread
Post by: TwoCatSam on September 16, 2008, 06:27:33 PM
Does anyone know how to copy a complete thread to Word at one stroke?  I can only copy pages at one time. 

Using Vista, how does one "copy to file" as it says?

Thanks!

Sam,

If your just looking to copy/past it into word, try the following:

click the "print" button.  This will open a new window giving you the entire thread (minus the pictures).  Then simply CTRL+C (copy) and then paste it into Word. 

I'll test it out right now, but it should work.

Thanks Matty

I learned how to do it.  I'm using Vista.

You go to page 1 of the thread and click print as you said.  Then you ask it to print to XLS DOCUMENT WRITER  and name your file and location and it will exactly copy the thread.

I'll need more storage!!

EDIT:  THIS DOES NOT WORK.  ONLY COPIES PAGE 1

Copying one page at a time, I have archived the entire winkle thread and will continue to do so as it grows.

I'd do this for Mr. Chips but it's archived in a far better computer:  Me brain!!  LOL

Soon I will get the testing thread too.

Now I'm off for a CHICKENDINNER!!

I go to the first page of the thread...press Print ( where it says Reply...Modify...etc)...It opens a new tab on my browser...the whole thread is in that new tab...I then click on save in my context menu of my browser. ( Google Chrome )


Works fine.

Yes, it does work fine.  Much better and faster than page-at-time.  I thank you and thank you!
