Thank you Do you have your Show/Hide on? It's the button that looks like a backward P on the toolbar. It's right before the Zoom box. Click on that, and those dots, non-printing characters, will go away. |

sorry, but that didn't solve it. There are these little dots all over the
pictures. It has to be in the way I set up the template or the way I'm sending it because the original is fine the problem is the way it looks after I'm sending it. Any other ideas?

Thank you I can't think of what you're doing wrong. Have you tried www.mvps.org? Did you check the printer? The templates are perfect but sending is the problem, maybe it's the output. |

Are you merging to an HTML email, or merging as an attachment? Can you
experiment with whichever method you are /not/ using? Off the top of my head I would guess that if you are merging to HTML, either the merge process or your e-mail client (presumably Outlook) is modifyig the images, perhaps "downgrading" the resolution. It could be something to do with the receiving e-mail client but I think that's unlikely in this case. Peter Jamieson "shalia2u" wrote in message ...

Well, I tried more HTML so far... attachment won't work either. This is just
really strange. All other emails are fine except when I try to merge them. You might be right about the "downgrading" ... I'll try changing some settings around. Thanks a lot for your input!!!!

You may for example find that the settings in Word Tools|Options|General|Web
Options|"Browsers" and "Pictures" (more likely "Pictures") affect what happens, because Word is probably saving each document to an HTML file before constructing a message from it, and when it saves it will probably use those settings. But I don't know for sure. Peter Jamieson "shalia2u" wrote in message ... Well, I tried more HTML so far... attachment won't work either. This is just really strange.

Hey, I solved it... don't know how but now the pictures are looking Great. I
saved the template as RTF First and then when you get to the part where you are asked to Select Recipient I selected Start From existing document. So that did it for me ... I think... but I also changed some other settings too .... but I think that's what did it.
