Table in Word

I am trying to create an e newsletter. I have created a table in Word and inserted pics and text and made some panels different colours. However when I paste it into Mail the formatting is wrong with the right side panels of colour much longer than in the word table. I have noticed that when I select the cells, there seems to be a margin on the left but none on the right - seems to bleed off table. I think this is causing the formatting issue but I do not know how to fix. I hope this makes some sense! Thank you.

When you paste Word content (or any other) into an email message it's
converted to either plain text or HTML, depending on your email settings -
IOW, you have no control over what happens to it. Even if you did, there's
little likelihood that the recipient's system would display it as intended.

Your best bet is to save the newsletter as a PDF & send that as an
attachment to the email message.

Thank you for this. But I was trying to replicate what I have seen done in PC Publisher. I want the newsletter to appear when the email is opened with hyperlinks. I had tried a pdf but I want to send it so the recipient sees the newsletter when he opens the email and they can also use hyperlinks to a website and I cannot do this with a pdf or attachment as a recipient would then have to click on the email attachment.
Thank you.

Yes, we know what you are trying to do.

The HTML used in Word and Mail is not complex enough to support this.
That's partly because, if you send such HTML, it is highly likely that the
recipient's spam filter will delete the item without passing it through.
And it's partly because HTML that complex is a security hazard.

Bob has suggested the only available method of ensuring that you send all
the formatting you see to your recipients.

Cheers
