Compose HTML email within margins

[terrapinie]

I'm using Outlook 2002 SP3. I have Word as email editor and composing
HTML emails. I want to set it so the email wraps at normal page
width. I've tried setting the margins to be 1" all around and .5" all
around. It will show the 'edge of page' marker on the ruler and
darken the area past it, but when I type, the text still goes out to
10" or so. I have it set to portrait, not landscape - this is in
normal view. In web view, the margin marker doesn't move. In print
layout the text will wrap - but I want to view in web or normal to
type and have the text wrap where it should. How can I do this?

Thanks,
Laurie

Email messages work like web pages -- they don't generally have fixed right
margins. One solution might be to insert a one-column/one-row fixed width
table and place your text there.
