email merge creating line breaks

M

MB

I am hard returning [shift/enter] plain text email documents at 60 characters
(to promote readability and limit unwanted forced breaks by email readers).

It worked fine in Word 03, but 07 is creating [extra] line breaks
inconsistently when emails arrive in Outlook and various free ISP email
accounts.

I have no explanation and have tried various things [including word/advanced
options/web encoding - unicode utf] This helped with some of the extra
breaks but not all.

Please, any solutions?

Try using a fixed width font such as Courier New and set the margins of the
mail merge main document so that the text word wraps after the 60th
character.
