Font Changed When Opened By Recipient

[Guest]

I am creating a newsletter to be sent out through a distribution list. I
created the newsletter in Word and "copy/pasted" it into the body of an html
formatted email (because the newsletter contains to pictures). When the
newsletter email is opened by a recipient using hotmail, the format of the
email was messed up. I was able to correct the spacing problem by using
"shift-enter" between paragraphs, however the font itself is still messed up.
Some parts of the newsletter look to have a gray possibly smaller font than
other parts of the newsletter. Any suggestions on how I may fix this
problem?

Thank you!

I don't think you can - it's decided by what printer the recipient has.....

The recipient didn't print it off. The font was different colors/sizes on
their computer screen. There must be a way to correct the text. I even
tried sending the newsletter in rich text. The font and format of the
newsletter turned out perfect, however the images were not viewable...

Doesn't matter whether they print it or not - the way they see it is STILL
dictated by what printer they have installed.

I think what Gordon meant was the printer driver of the printer the mail
recipient has selected as their default determines how the newsletter will
look on the screen as well as printed. The only way I know to get consistent
results to all recipients is to create a pdf of your newsletter and send that.

I see. Is it possible to create my newsletter in a pdf format and then
copy-paste it into the body of the email? I don't want to have to send the
newsletter as an attachment that the recipients have to open up separately
after opening the email.

Thank you.

yes - there are several free applications that will do this

and then > copy-paste it into the body of the email? I don't want to have

after opening the email.

Why not? Alternatively, put the PDF on a website and send your list the
link....
