Unpredictable display of graphics in emailed MailMerge docs
I'm emailing a MailMerge document (Word 2003) through Outlook (Outlook 2003),
Win XP Sometimes, everything looks fine. But sometimes, the text is misplaced. When I open the copy that I sent to myself, it looks OK, but when I look at the email that was put in the Sent folder of Outlook, it is garbled. Then I will get an email from one of my recipients that says the email looks like the garbled version. Others will say that the email looked fine. They are all in the same MailMerge session, with the same Word document. The Word document has a table with two columns. The first cell in a row has a graphic, the second cell in the row has the text. The garbling that sometimes happens is that the text in one of the rows of the table will be placed above the table; the graphic in that first cell will be OK, but the cell will have some, but not all, of the text missing - it was placed in the paragraph before the table. Here's a brief illustration: Correct: Table introduction paragraph ---------------------------------- | Graphic1 Title 1 | | Text 1 here | | Graphic2 Title 2 | | Text 2 here | | Graphic3 Title 3 title | | Text 3 here | ---------------------------------- Inorrect: Table introduction paragraph Text 2 here ---------------------------------- | Graphic1 Title 1 | | Text 1 here | | Graphic2 Title 2 | | | | Graphic3 Title 3 title | | Text 3 here | ----------------------------------- It's not clear what I've done differently between the rows that display properly, and the rows where the text is not in the table, but before the table. It takes me many hours to do this document, with lots of cutting and pasting, changing graphics, reformatting, etc. I do not resize the graphics. I usually format the graphics to be behind the text, so that they will fit snuggly in the cell, but sometimes I make the row a single cell, and align the graphic square with the text. Any ideas about what is getting kattiwampus here? |
