E-mail newsletter spacing messed up after sending it
I created a newsletter using Word template from the template page, and
although it looks fine on my screen, the spacing was messed up and font size/type was also changed when received. What can I do to prevent this from happening again? |

Don't send Word documents as emails. There are any number of things that
will screw up what it looks like at the other end, over which you have no control. Sending a PDF is usually the simplest solution.

But PDF can only be sent as an attachment, and I need the e-mail body to show
the newsletter. Any suggestions? I tired Publisher, which worked fine except I could not get the hyperlinks to actually work. Thanks for your help!

To make the body of the email look "formatted" you need to send it as HTML.
But that's usually a waste of time because many (most?) people have their email set to receive all emails as plain text anyway, for anti-virus reasons, and/or quarantine all HTML emails as suspect spam. The day of the formatted email newsletter is already past. Came and went in a cyberblink. "Anna" wrote in message ...

Well, it was sent and received as HTML..... I agree with you on using PDF
but believe it or not, many people prefers everything to be in the message body so there is one less thing to click, and I cannot simply change it just because it is not "in" anymore.

It is not a question of being 'in'. HTML is a ripe transport medium for
carrying malicious code. Most people who have been around PCs for any length of time have their e-mail readers set to view only the plain text content as Jezebel indicated. Your laziness will cost you dear before too long. And don't think virus checkers will help save you from rogue html code. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Anna wrote: Well, it was sent and received as HTML.....

It's not that's it's no longer 'in' because it's out of fashion ... it's
just too damned dangerous. "Anna" wrote in message ... Well, it was sent and received as HTML.....
