OL03 Create Stationary w/o picture creating itself more than once

T

Twinkle2z

I've tried every method; I've tried every kind of imagine (GIF, JPEG &
Bitmap, & also converting to Outlook Explorer (Blue E), to create O/L
stationery in Office 03; & tried every method available in Mail Format -
Create Stationary; and IF I'm successful to create stationery, I'm still NOT
successful, as "the one picture or image" crates iteslf 4-6 times, when
'clicking' "New Mail Message" after creating the new stationary. I do NOT
have problem of 'saving another person's stationary; I simply CANNOT create
my own from an imagae of ANY KIND? What can I do? What am I doing wrong? Why
does SAME picture appear more than ONE TIME in the 'blank and new stationary?
I'm frustrated & been trying unsuccessfully for over 2 years now; always
same results no matter I try? Can someone PLEASE HELP ME create stationery
successfully? PLEASE? Thank You!

Hi,

You need to use an inline style sheet (CSS) to control the graphic from
repeating. I couldn't find a sample on my hard drive from my old days of
doing this under Outlook 98/2000/Outlook Express that shuts off the tiling
of the background all together, but I did find one that shows you how to
control it. The sample below should help you do additional research in
getting the desired result when creating stationery.


The value you are interested in researching is the "background-repeat" tag.
In the sample below, this will force the graphic to repeat vertically. I
think the other values it accepts is repeat-x and no-repeat. As a bonus,
this sample also shows you how to control margins, whether or not the
background scrolls in long messages, .etc

PS - I don't use Word as my e-mail editor, so please keep in mind that if
you do use Word to edit e-mail that it could influence the way things
look/work.

I am having the same frustration of tiling when trying to insert an image
into Outlook 2003 stationery. Express works fine. Your solution means
nothing to the uninitiated. It looks like your are scripting HTML commands.
?? Does anyone have an idiotes guide to fixing the problem?
