Default can i use a Word template in the body of Outlook?

Those are HTML, and you'll find the images are actually stored (in most
cases) on the sender's web server.

This is actually used by spammers and phishers. They'll place a blank image
in a seemingly harmless message but when you open it, downloading the image
confirms to the spammer that they have a working email address. This is
exactly WHY many people (I'm one of them) read email as plain text.

Thank you Graham. If this is the case, how do companies send out
emails with images, graphics, and the rest in them? I receive emails
from Medical Companies with these things straight in the body and not
as attachments. Do they use a different email client?

E-mail is either plain text of html. Neither is directly compatable
with Word document format, so the answer to your question is no.
You have no control over how a recipient views your message. Many
will view all e-mails as plain text.

Outlook and Word 2007.

I posted this in the Outlook forum as well but thought someone here
may know as well...

I have a template that I created in MS Word and what I'm wondering
is this...can I use this template in the body of my Outlook
message? I do not want it to be an attachment. I want it to be
displayed as the main body of the message.

My clients may not read the message if it is an attachment.

Can I turn this Word template into an Outlook Template?

Thanks All!!!!!!!!!! Happy Holidays!!!!!!!!
