I scanned a document and mailed the resulting PDF to my email but it arrived in my mailbox in multiple parts. How I combine all the pieces into a single file? I used the Outlook help but the closest thing I found was "highlight all the messenges and click File|SaveAttachments", but when I do, that menu choice is greyed-out. How does one combine the .dat files into one, hopefully without manually combining them in wordpad?
 
Well, I don't think they'd appreciate me installing things on my PC at work.

What I wound up doing (but was hoping to find a less labor-intensive way) was saving each of the documents separately, opened a DOS session and used "[tt]copy /B file1.dat+file2.dat+...+filen.dat destinationfile.dat[/tt]" and then opened destinationfile.dat with WinZip and extracted the PDF within.
