Sharepoint - How to copy email body from a workflow step
In SharePoint designer 2010, we can certainly copy the content of the workflow mail. Here is the way to do it:
- Click on the email action in your workflow (it means it should be selected).
- Next go to the advanced properties in the ribbon, if you click that "Send an Email Properties" dialog box will be opened.
- In that dialog box, there will be a row called body, click on that, in the right column, you will be able to see the content of your body.
- Just right click on that and select copy and paste it in a notepad or word document!
That's it! You don't need to do the formatting again and again, just copy and paste it. :D
You can open XML in notepad and then copy the text.
It will not copy the fields though.
Here is the technique I use quite a lot when I cant copy text which I see on the screen:
If you have Microsoft OneNote installed, you can capture an image representing the body and then past it in One Note. Then right-click on the image and select "Copy Text from Picture" option. This will extract the text from the picture and it works quite well.
