I tried reply to you but it was returned undeliverable.....is it generally
not possible to directly reply to the individual and necessary to always
reply to the group??? Again, I am new to newsgroups but find it a
wonderful source of info for learning about my computer.

Your other post was changed to plain text, so only the name of the
Stationery showed, Sunflower.

To post the code, highlight, copy the source code, and paste the code
into the message.

In IE, Tools, Internet Options, Security tab, Custom level button, is
Active scripting enabled?

Could you post the code?

Yes, that is what I do except I edit the source using notepad....In
the edit tab of OE, the image is statically there, but in the preview
it becomes a little red box moving over the text which it should but
it should be the floating image resolved.....when I send the
stationery it is just fine...it is actually not a OE problem because
when I open with IE directly the same thing happens...I have looked at
my IE options and nothing fixes this.???

Go to View | Source Edit in a new message. You will then have 3 tabs
at the bottom and you compose in Edit mode. Once you have finished
composing, then click on the Preview button and it should show the
animation.

Also make sure OE is set to the Internet zone under Tools | Options |
Security and make sure you understand that when you open OE up like
that, you have to be careful screening messages that may contain
trojans and such.

I am taking an online OE Stationery class teaching me to modify
scripts and
the instructor has informed me that others have had the same problem
I seem
to be having and she doesn't know what to do about it.

When creating stationery, for some reason the preview of it doesn't
show the
moving graphics and yet when you send it and look at it is ok and
all
graphics are there and operating as they should. It worked for me
about two
weeks ago then I had to do a complete system recovery because of a
hard
drive failure and with this new recovered computer I can't use the
preview
to see my stationery before sending it...The instructor said to just
send it
to myself but it saddens me that the preview is not working as it
should....could the software be damaged somehow???or missing an
update.....can OE be re-installed and just it and not all of
windows???I am
very hopefufl that someone out there might know how to help or if
they have
the same problem. Yolanda Martin........

Glad you got if fixed.
I once had some HTML code that had a ' when it should have been a ".
The code still worked.

I use EditPad Lite as a replacement for Notepad.
EditPad can have tabs for several pages.

Problem now solved and here is what I did....there must be a bug in the
operational code released for windows updates because my windows xp has
all updates applied and there is no reason why this should have
happed.........copied and pasted from another email I sent to my
stationery coding instructor.......

I am so so elated that I don't have anything wrong with my computer
and that
for some reason the name of my folder was causing the problem and it
couldn't be seen to be debugged and I still don't know why or understand
that my merely changing the name of the folder from "Yo's Stationery" to
"mystationery" solved the
bug!! I am lucky to have tried this....it was just intuition that said
that
may be a problem......It is really great to have the preview button work
and
to be able to open the html with IE if I want and not to have to send to
myself to see what I have created as stationery!! I was really concerned
that these scripts and html code had damaged my computer software
somehow!!
Maybe there is a bug in notepad because the problem causing name,Yo's
Stationery, should have been all
right and it is all right if you send it despite what you don't see in
preview??? Really mysterious and spooky but I have worked in computers
and
with software all my life and that does sometime happen in software!
Strangely, a friend (Charlie) sent me a prayer and I got up at 4am this
morning having been unable to fall asleep all night long for thinking
about
my computer, the class, and matters that I must attend to so I read the
prayer....it worked a miracle for me by fixing this bug!! I am truly
amazed
and grateful.

Apparently, the ' in some code processing/parsing somewhere opening html
script code should be an " and that would have gone unnoticed????? so when
it reads Yo's Stationery it stopped and yet when you send the email the
stationery looks okay while it didn't in OE preview or a direct open with
IE locally as a test.

Again, you'd probably find better help (and empathetic souls) in the
stationery-specific newsgroup:
