MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / May 2008inserting html into outlook
Hello Currently I send html newsletters/announcments etc by saving the files as jpgs and file>insert so that they are embedded into the body of the email and instantly viewable. How do I create an html newsletter that is not a jpg. Meaning when viewed in the email program it appears more like an actual webpage. (selectable text, links images etc) Can I create webpages .htm or .html) and put them online but is there a way to make them viewable within the preview box as the page vs just viewing the hyperlink. PLease help, I know this can be done but really need some step-by step instructions... thanks, MM You can create HTML formatted e-mails directly in Outlook. If you need to do soem advanced HTML-ing and rather create that in an HTML-editor simply save the htm-file to disk first. Then in Outlook use Insert-> File-> select file-> press the little dowpdown arrow on the Insert button and choose Insert as Text. Place your pictures on a webserver to keep the actual e-mail as small as possible. In general this is the most appreciated method of sending newsletters.

I'm using 2007 version and i can't use the way you suggested - the style format in the coding is missing when i copy and paste the HTML into the email body, so some style which i set previously is different. However i cannot find a way to insert the HTML file into the body so that i can see the content properly, instead of an attachment. Anyway to do this? Many thanks > You can create HTML formatted e-mails directly in Outlook.

Can you please tell me in more dettail how to do this? I have Outlook 2007 and Windows XP. Thank you very much, Candy > You can create HTML formatted e-mails directly in Outlook.

I was eventually able to figure this out. I then wrote a set of "instructions" for neophytes liek myself (a bit more detailed) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to Insert HTML Code in Email 1. Open email 2. In email body - right click – click on “View Source” 3. Insert html code where wanted 4. Save & close file 5. Open new email 6. In email body – click insert – click attach file 7. Select file you saved 8. Click down arrow on insert button in insert window 9. Click “insert as text” 10. What you wanted to insert in email should now appear there. If you want to insert code in email you are just sending, send to self first, then do above.

Reference to the pictures on a webserver in the HTML source and you should be fine.

Using Word as email editor, or even the native Outlook editor can do that (but it won't let you edit the HTML source code). > Were you able to achieve this?
