Answer 1

If you are talking about the messages posted on the group's site, there are three ways to do this.  Note: The first two can only be done one message at a time. The first one will send messages to your personal email address.

1)  Sign in to the group.

Open a new document using Word or text file using Notepad.

Open your browser, go to the group and click on desired message to open it. Click "Forward" located to the upper left of the message. On the screen that comes up, type your personal email address in the "To:" field and click Send.  The message will arrive in your personal email inbox.  

Repeat for each message you want to save on your computer. This has to be done one-by-one.

2)  Sign in to your group.

Click on desired message to open it, copy and paste it to a document on your computer and save it. Repeat for each message you want to save on your computer.

3) This method allows you to do around 30 messages per page by page:

Open a new document in Word or a text document in Notepad.

Open your browser and Sign in to the group.

Click "Messages" on left side of screen.

On the upper left of the first message, Click "Expand". This will make all messages on that page appear in their entirety.

Now highlight all the messages with your mouse. Right click your mouse and select "Copy".

Go to your blank document on your computer and right click your mouse and select "Paste".

You will repeat the process for each page of messages on the group. Just continue to paste them in the same document on your computer. Don't forget to save the document when finished.
