View & Edit the source HTML code in 2003.

[Guest]

I just upgraded from express to 2003, and I am not happy because the feature I use the most is gone. While composing a new message using Express there are three tabs at the bottom of the window “Edit†“Source†and “Previewâ€. I want to be able to change the Source HTML code using Outlook 2003. I have search the message board for an answer and was unable to find one.

I have the message type set to HTML, but when I insert HTML tags in the message they do not do anything. I can’t find a separate HTML view, and I don’t want to use “Insert >> picture†or “Insert >> Hyperlink†every time I want to customize my emails.

I can’t stand it when companies cut out useful options in an attempt to make applications more “user friendlyâ€.

Please Help.

Thanks for your help but I have one more problem now. How do you give a table a background image if the style sheets will not let you.

Can you give me a link to a good style sheet tutorial.

Thanks again for you help
