Default How do I copy a 2 column table without it being corrupted?

I have a 2 column table with an across page header and footer that I need to
copy in an e-mail, if I try to do so the formatting goes awry and it ends up
on two pages, any ideas?

Default How do I copy a 2 column table without it being corrupted?

Hi

No email format can handle the complex formatting that Word can create. Even
if you could get the columns to look right on your machine, the recipient's
email client may not display the formatting in the same way. The best
solution may be to save your Word document as a PDF file and send it. You
can get free PDF creators from PrimoPDF and CutePDF.

Hope this helps.

RTF/HTML formats have limited capabilites, compared to Word. Also, the
recipient may have turned off HTML formatting in mails, only accepting
text format. Therefore, it would be better to send the document (or
relevant parts of it) as an attachment (in *.doc or *.pdf format).
