Hi all

I will try and keep this as simple as possible -

I actually use Outlook Express (OE from here on) but have a client that
wanted me to create stationary for her outgoing email using her logo in her
Microsoft Outlook (MO from here on) ... and I have noticed this does not
work the same as in OE ...

I need to know if it is in fact possible to have a logo just placed on the
top left of the email page (like I can do in OE and do all the time) because
when setting it up MO automatically tiles the logo and I have since read
under Help that if the picture size does not cover the message area it will
be repeated!
So.... is one supposed to create the logo (bitmap) with a huge white area
around it in the hope the white area will be big enough??

I have searched and searched for Help and advice within MO but have found no
solution. Have tried sending the email header and saving as stationary and
all went well until the actual new email - the logo was tiled once again!!

I am at the point where I do not think MO can do what OE can in this regard
.... is that true / possible??

Anybody out there that has figured this out?
And please, as much as I appreciate any help, don't send me the basic
instructions of how to set up stationary - I know that part... I just want
the logo to stop tiling!

Thanking you in advance!
Andrea

OL is the proper abbreviation for Outlook. You need to put images in
tables to keep them from tiling.

Hi Diane

Thanks for the input - let me just confirm... so I should create a HTML
doc/page with the image in a table and use that as the stationary?... right?
Sorry about the OL / MO ... hehehehe....

sorry... must the table have any specific fixed dimensions/size ?.... I have
a very old OL on my PC that doesn't tile anything so I can only see what
happens when I work on my client's OL and therefore would like to take the
correct file to her as I cannot change things on her PC...
Sounds complicated LOL... and it's a bit of a pain...

Thanks again!
