Is there any useful guide to formatting e-mail in Outlook? (I use OL 2002
and 2003) I use Word 2002/2003 (with html) as the e-mail editor for mail I
originate. Through blind trial-and-error I have cobbled together a
reasonable mix of signatures and a stationery (entirely blank with only
formatting for Word's Normal style-fonts and paragraph spacing-and a style
for a standard disclaimer at the bottom of an e-mail). And I understand
that my Normal.dot from Word may have something to do with it all, even if I
have no idea how it all works. Bottom line, it seems to work fine.
My question is: How can I change the line spacing when replying to e-mails
that come to me in plain text, where I assume Word is not involved. When I
reply OL uses plain text (You cannot use Word or html in these
circumstances, which is OK). But my reply is apparently triple-spaced, as
is the original message as shown in the reply. If this were Word's
paragraph "spacing after" it seems like 24 points. It looks absurd and
makes things very hard to read. How can I change this down to ordinary
single spacing?
FWIW when I was stumbling around trying to get a handle on formatting E-mail
I composed, I temporarily changed the "spacing after" in my normal style in
Word's Normal.dot to 24 points just to see how changes to normal.dot
affected the composition of e-mail. Then I changed it back to zero. Is
there somewhere else I have to change it?
