New Stationery in Outlook 2003

[Guest]

I am trying to create our company Letterhead as New Stationery in Oulook 2003
for outgoing mail. The logo I insert from file, be it jpg, tif or bmp does
not show up on the saved html file in the stationery. When I open the
template I have created in IE7, it appears correct. Also, even though I
position the logo on the right, it moves to the left to where I have a text
box with our address. Can anyone guide me HOW TO CREATE stationery? Does
Active X have anything to do with this, if so, what will happen on the
recipient's computer?

How and where did you create the stationery in?

"Does Active X have anything to do with this"
Nope

What excelllent response, thanks! I created the page in Word 2003 and saved
it as an html file.

Ouch! Word doesn't really create some clean and standards compliant HTML
(will change massively in Word 2007 BTW). You might want to create the
stationery in a proper HTML editor (FrontPage will do) or code it manually.

As for the pictures; it's best that you place the pictures you use in a
folder a level below your htm-file. This way you can use relative paths for
the pictures. Distribute the stationery with the pictures folder and it
should come up right. Another way to go would be to place the pictures on a
webserver and link them to the URL.
