Message history

How do I save the message history to another location?

Greetings,

You can adjust the message history location by opening any Messenger window, pressing the Alt
key on the keyboard to bring up the menu bar, choosing the Tools menu, then Options, then
Messages category and at the bottom, choose the Change button to change the folder.

Ok I got that but I want to put them in a word file so that I can print them
off. How do I do that? Cause right clicking after I highlight them doesn't
work.

Hi,

You can print them directly from the history viewer window in Messenger by just clicking
inside on the text and pressing Ctrl-P on the keyboard.

Although if you want to, you could also copy/paste to Word by using Ctrl-C (copy) and Ctrl-V
(paste) as opposed to right-clicking (which is disabled).

Finally, you could open them directly into Word as they're just XML files by noting the
folder listed in the dialog in my previous message, opening it up in Explorer, right-clicking
on the file in question (the file names are based on the Live ID's e-mail), choosing Open
With and then choosing Word. You'll also have to choose the MessageLog.xsl to format it
(where prompted).
