E-mail Signature: Not appearing correctly...

[Jay Gustafson]

Hello,

I am attempting to make an e-mail signature for my e-mails and it's not
doing exactly what I want it to do. I am currently using Outlook 2000.
(Incase you'll need to know that.)

I have went into the e-mail signature section where you can edit your
signature. Well I hit a button called, "Advanced Edit". Then it opens up
my signature in Word. And I basically edit it as I would any other Word
Doc.

My problem is this, I don't want my e-mail signature to just be plain boring
text. So I figured I'd give it a little life and make it appear as a
business card. I created a table. 1 Row. 2 Columns. The left column
contains the company logo, while the right side contains my contact
information.

It looks great when I'm editing it in Word. But as soon as I open an e-mail
up and see the signature, it's ruined. The table is there including the
logo, but on the right column, instead of all my contact information sitting
inside of it, it's flooding out of the column like it's a continuous
sentence, when it's actually not.

Am I doing something wrong? I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thank you,
Jay Gustafson

If you want to use a Word document in email, you have to send it as an
attachment. HTML might work, but most people I receive mail from don't use
that.

Plain text is best. You can try to use tabs to create pseudo-columns, but be
aware that proportional fonts may break them.
