How do I transfer text messages from my Nokia X3 to my pc?

I don't want to make a backup of them, I want to copy the actual text so that when I leave this phone (in Jan) for a new one I'll have the messages on my computer. I've done it before but can't remember how and google search isn't bringing up anything useful.

At the beginning of this year I managed to copy all of my messages at the time out into an Excel spreadsheet. For some reason when I double clicked on the messages they were transferred directly into Excel where I could save them as a spreadsheet there. So I'm looking to do exactly the same thing now. When I open Nokia PC suite and click on the messages thing it doesn't show my inbox, it just shows an option to create a new message or create a new contact.

I'm desperate to find out how to do this! The only answers I'm looking for are ones that allow me to copy the exact text into Excel or Word or some programme - not to make a backup that can then be opened on the phone.

Thanks so much!
