how can I copy multiple Excel files from Outlook (all at once) into Excel?

Is there a way to do this? When I right clik ONE file attached to the email,
I can copy it, either using My Computer, or opening the directory within
Excel. BUT, if I clik 2 or more, and try to copy amp; paste, it doesn't work. I
have 16 files to copy.

Also, why is it so annoying and hard to find a solution to this??? I've been
looking online using microsoft quot;Helpquot; (not too damn helpful!) for over 45
minutes. Simple searches do NOT yield a solution!!

I can copy them (as a group) as an .rtf file, as a scrap (!!!!), whatever
that is, but I CANNOT JUST CUT amp; PASTE THE DAMN THINGS. WHY NOT???????????????

I can't understand why I can't just cut amp; paste multiple attachments from
Outlook to Excel (or any other application I want to use...).

Any real help you can give me is appreciated. Thanks.

Mark

Mark,

In Outlook, use File / Save attachments, and save them in a folder somewhere. Then start Excel and
open them through Excel's FileOpen dialog.
