I have outlook 2003 and want to shorten my margins on ALL emails to
.5 on the left, and 3.0 on the right?
Can I do this and make it stick?
E-mail in plain text doesn't have margins. It is, after all, just PLAIN
text. That means NO formatting controls. No fonts, bolding, italics,
pages, or margins (because there are no page boundaries).
HTML formatted e-mail also doesn't have margins per se. You could code
in size attributes in the elements in your HTML-coded e-mail to fix the
size to a certain percentage of the window width or to a fixed number of
pixels. That assumes you know how to code HTML to add the 'width'
attribute to various HTML tags. HTML is free-form so the lines wrap at
whatever is the current width of the viewing window. Likewise, that
means there are no "pages" in HTML e-mails as it is one long document.
If you want a specific layout to your document, write it up in your word
processor (that outputs a filetype that the recipient can view) and
attach that document to your e-mail. Then you will have all the
formatting that you desire (within the confines of whatever word
processor that you use).
