Post subject: Formatting for e-mail Archived from groups: microsoft>public>word>web>authoring (more info?)
Hi all.
I'm new to this site and would appreciate some formatting help.
I created a new Word doc and copied and pasted some graphics and some
simple text boxes in to it. The graphics and text boxes were created
in Powerpoint by someone else. Looks fine on my screen.
Before sending it out via e-mail to an Outlook e-mail group I have, I
first sent myself a test message to see what it would look like on the
receiving end. It looks a mess! The text boxes are all over the
place, as is the text that is not in a box. Also, everything slide
over to the left hand margin a little bit, so the e-mail I received
chopped off part of the left side of the graphics/text.
I tried protecting as a read only file, and that helped a little bit,
but not enough.
Someone please tell me how I can change my document to ensure that all
recepients have a nicely formatted document.

Save it and send it as an attachment. That way the exact file
gets transmitted.

Hey Mike... after doing some more thinking about your problem, I have to
ask you a few things. As I don't know how you are sending this Word doc
to an email program for starters? You wouldn't happen to be using Word's
mode with Outlook that is called Wordmail, would you?
If not, what are you using for sending out email? As I'm not sure, but
Outlook Express and Outlook only composes in Rich Text format (RTF).
Well Outlook does have a HTML option too, I think.

Hi Mike... What happens when you save it as an HTML file. Open up this
file in a browser, copy & paste into an email message?

May I ask why? NOt that I have a solution; just curious, mostly.
That's easily the best way to make sure a file isn't changed in
any way.

That didn't work. I tried both a text as well as an html format on the
new e-mail.
I can't believe this can't be done! I receive many e-mail newsletter
during the day with nice graphics and boxes. What are they doing that
I can't?

I'm trying to send out a nice looking e-mail to an Outlook group
complete with graphics and nice text. Some jpgs and some texst boxes.
Kind of like what I get daily from CNet, or PCWorld, and most other
online subcription services. What do they use to send out nice
looking e-mails? When I do it in Word, the e-mail comes in
discombulated. What am I doing wrong?
