Set specific right margin in Outlook 2007 e-mail

[Douglas O. Walker]

I would like to draft e-mails that fit into a fixed 80 character (or some
other number of fixed characters or fixed size in inches) column field.

I use the "Normal" style and try and move the margin indicator in the
"ruler" that appears at the top but whenever I move it to the left, it
bounces right back to the maximum width of the screen.

Is there some way of setting fixed margins in an e-mail?


Thanks for any ideas.

You can try to create a new email.dotm (?), edit it to your specifications, and then make that the default for new mail.

@Shaffer, you got it work, this way?
Same question here.
