Keep Formatting Intact with Send To > Mail Recipient
Is it possible to use the Send To Mail Recipient command in Word and keep
all the formatting of the original Word doc intact as the body of the email message? It will be emailed thru Outlook/Outlook Express. I have a graphic at the top of my document (for letterhead) and then text, as in a letter. When I try sending the email, the margins are messed up and go off the edge of the screen so you cannot read the whole thing. I want to have it look as good in the email as it does in Word. Thanks! |

Send it as an attachment. However, the recipient will need to have Word installed on their compupter. Some viewers are available from Microsoft: http://www.microsoft.com/office/000/viewers.asp |

You'll need to send it as an attachment.

I was actually hoping to have it appear in the body of the email message,
though, not as an attachment that needs to be opened in Word. This is how it works when you use Send To Mail Recipient, it's just that the formatting doesn't come through correctly. So is there no other way?

You can convert it to HTML and use that as the message format, but it's not
a good solution. Emails sent as HTML are a bit like envelopes with advertising slogans on the outside: it's one of the characteristics of junk mail. Worse, it won't work at all across many corporate networks for security reasons, many people choose to receive *all* their emails as plain text, and the formatting is dependent on how the user's machine is set up, what fonts they have installed, and so on. The email they receive is unlikely to look like the email you sent. Don't try to pretty up your emails. It's counter-productive. "Kristi" wrote in message ...
