MS Office Forum / Word / Web Authoring / December 2005Formatting for e-mail
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. Thanks in advance. Save it and send it as an attachment. That way the exact file gets transmitted. : Hi all. : [quoted text clipped - 18 lines] : : Thanks in advance. I was hoping to avoid that. >Save it and send it as an attachment.

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? >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?

That's easily the best way to make sure a file isn't changed in any way. :I was hoping to avoid that. : [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] : >: : >: Thanks in advance. 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? >May I ask why?

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. ______________________________________________ Bill (using a Toshiba 2595XDVD & Windows 2000) -- written and edited within Word 2000 yes, it was composed in PowerPoint by someone else. I then copied and pasted into a Word document and sent it out via Word. When that didn't work well, I copied and pasted into Outlook, both in text and html versions. Still didn't work. >Hey Mike... after doing some more thinking about your problem, I have to >ask you a few things.

Did you find a solution yet? I'm in the middle of moving, so I won't be online too much. But Object Linking is supposed to make this all work. Have you tried dropping the Word file into the Outlook message yet? I don't know that much about it since I rarely use it. ______________________________________________ Bill (using a Toshiba 2595XDVD & Windows 2000) -- written and edited within Word 2000 Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2005 17:21:24 GMT > yes, it was composed in PowerPoint by someone else.

No, I haven't found a solution, and I'm slightly disappointed no one has come forward with one. Yes, I have tried dropping the Word file into both an Outlook text message, as well as an Outlook html message. Thanks. >Have you tried dropping the Word file into the Outlook message >yet? I Hi Mike... I had taken one of those CNET Newsletters coming into Outlook (my version is 2000). Saved as a HTML file. Opened up with a browser, copy and pasted it into Outlook. Sent it to myself and it looks just fine. Does this work for you? Depending on the web page, I can also successfully do the same for some webpages sending as email to myself. Same true for you? But webpages with frames and who knows what else like http://news.yahoo.com/ displays incorrectly. But it does so before I send it out as well. You are using HTML format under Outlook right? Rich Text isn't good enough for this task. It's under the menu bar under Format when you compose a message. Also you may not have all of the options installed under Office. You might need to run setup once again to see what is installed and what isn't. Also remember that Outlook can't do that super fancy HTML, just the standard stuff. ______________________________________________ Bill (using a Toshiba 2595XDVD & Windows 2000) -- written and edited within Word 2000 Date: Fri, 21 Oct 2005 18:51:16 GMT > No, I haven't found a solution, and I'm slightly disappointed no one > has come forward with one.

I am using HTML format, but I've actually created it in Word 2000, and am sending it out from within Word (since as you say, Outlook doesn't do fancy HTML stuff). It then goes to Outlook 2000, where I click send and receive. Yes, CNET Newsletters and such come in nicely, and those are the kind of fancy HTML newsletters that I'd like to create. I've been trying to find out what they use, as I've almost given up on Word. >Hi Mike... I had taken one of those CNET Newsletters coming into Outlook >(my version is 2000). Saved as a HTML file.
