Outlook fomatting

[Deb]

When I copy and paste a html newsletter into Outlook I loose formatting in
some parts and not in others. Why? And how can I avoid my careful formatting
being lost. I use Dreamweaver, veiw in browser, copy , then paste into
Outlook.

Just incompatibilities. If you want to create a html newsletter to send with
Outlook then the best bet is to create it with Outlook.

You could save the html page from Dreamweaver and use it as stationery in
Outlook instead of copy/paste, but Outlook primarily is not the best tool
for rendering HTML pages. Your newsletter should use basic formatting.

Create a html newsletter template in dreamweaver and save it.
In Outlook 2003, go to Tools-->Options-->Mail Format
Select Stationery Picker.
In the Stationery Picker applet, select New
Then 'Use this file as a template' and navigate to your dreamweaver file.

I have the same problem, but I'm using Outlook 2007 B2 and Frontpage. How do
I resolve this cause I can't select a new stationery applet like you
suggested. Is there anyway to disable the text editor in Outlook 2007?
