Guest

I have outlook 2007 and I am trying to create a signature with a ticker in
it. When I paste the HTML code, it simply displays that text in my outgoing
message. Yes, I HAVE the message format set to HTML format.

You need to insert the rendered format of your HTML code. Put the HTML
in a HTML editor like FrontPage, the copy the Preview and paste it into
your target document.

Thanks. I got the picture[ticker] to show up [could do that before] by just
copying and pasting it, but wasn't sure if it was really "working" as in if
it was actually counting down, or just a copy of the pic/ticker that would
always be stuck on the same day.

Can you believe that Office 2007 Pro did not come with Frontpage. I don't
think that a frontpage 07 exists, so I couldn't try copying it from the
preview on that, so I just copied it from a previous e-mail from before I
switched to Outlook. It is almost midnight, so I will be able to compose a
new e-mail soon to see if it counted down my ticker.

If it did not, I suppose I will be looking for another program that does
HTML codes.

I'll let you know, and thanks again!

FrontPage has been replaced by Microsoft Expression Web and SharePoint
Designer, neither of which is a part of Office. However, there are plenty of
other HTML editors out there in cyberspace, many freeware or shareware.

Thanks Jocelyn, I will have to try a freeware version because I checked this
morning and my ticker did not count down. What I used last night though, was
Microsoft Publication on the Web Publication choice and I posted the HTML
code into it and when I click in "preview as webpage" the ticker works and
counts down. That is where I copied and pasted from---the "previewed"
webpage....

I just wish Outlook would support inserting the HTML code like Hotmail did!
