How do I select all (text) of an email in Outlook 2007? (other then
Ctrl+A)
I was unable to find the option/button and Select All does not appear
during right-click.

With the message open:
Message tab, in the Find section Select, Select All

Without the message open (ie, in the reading pane):
Click at the beginning of the message, hold down the button and drag to the
bottom of the message.

Looks like there's a slight bug with the Edit - Select all menu option where
it never selects all the message, despite the fact that Control A does.

Thanks F.H.
I was able to find it as you mentioned.
I also use "Select All" to include "From,Sent,To,Subject in the selection.
To do so, I used to click "Forward", then (edit or right-click?) "Select All".
In Outlook2007 I found "Select All" under the "Format Text" tab (after clicking "Forward").
Just wanted to mention that in case anyone else runs across this note.

Mike

How can I select and copy text from Reading Pane WITHOUT opening the
email. I have to not only OPEN, but HIT REPLY or FORWARD in order to
simply select and copy text. There must be a way, but I can't find it.

Click in the text, then Ctrl A to select all or drag to select text with the
cursor, then Ctrl+C or right click, copy.

If you have SP2 installed, Ctrl+Insert should copy too. (That's broken in
earlier builds).
