Default HELP

Doug already has this covered in his earlier reply, but the things to note
are that you have no control over how a recipient will view the e-mail, and
that html e-mail format and Word document format are entirely different -
and will result in the formatting mess you mention. You need to send the
newsletter as an attachment - preferably in PDF format - if you want to
retain the layout.

Ok, here we go again!!
Does this site not wrap text?

No, it is actually our Admin.
Assistant that is having this problem.
She has taken the time to create a document that she wants to merge into
email to go to multiple recipients. She has text with images incorporated
into it.
It is a monthly email that is almost like a newsletter. She is trying to
merge it into email the same way it is laid out in Word.
She loses all formatting and margins and the images end up covering parts
of the text...etc.

Losing margin formatting when using mail merge Office 2007.
There is a document that has been set up with a pretty wide margin on the
left and right sides. When you email merge it, the margins disappear.
How can I get them to stay the same as in the Word document once they are
merged into Outlook? I have been looking around for hours and am finding
nothing?!?!?!
