Graphics in email message

V

vincenzo

I am using Entourage 10.1.4 on a Powerbook G4. I am trying to create an
email with graphics in it, and then save it so I can send it to other
people later.
I created the message (with graphics) in MS Word, but when I select it
all, and cut and paste it into the Entourage New Message box, only the
text is there, the graphics are missing.

What do I need to do differently?
And will I be able to save the message to send again later?

Thanks

Take a look at these scripts:

<http://scriptbuilders.net/files/sendcomplexhtmlx2.0.4.html>
<http://scriptbuilders.net/files/sendcomplexhtmlwithinlinefiles20040.3.0.htm
l>

Things got easier in Office 2004 - you can now send complex HTML directly
from Word, preserving all the complex formatting.

We have Office v.X - are you saying we should be able to email directly
from Word? I have tried opening the Word doc and going to File>Send to
Mail Recipient, but it sends it as an attachment, and I need it to be
the body of the message.

Thanks

Is Office 2004 newer than Office X?

How do I use the script?
(BTW, the second script link does not work)

OK thanks.

So am I unable to send a document directly from Word v.X, and have it
appear in the body of the email?
And how do I use the script?
Thanks

Read the ReadMe that comes with the script.

Correct. This is a new feature in Office 2004

OK Thanks.

I've read the ReadMe, and that Entourage script has some requirements
that make it difficult to use for the task I am attempting. For one,
it requires that the message be in an HTML document, which makes it
difficult when we want to edit the document with the person's name in
the body of the email. (The person who will be sending these has
limited computer knowledge).
And also, all graphics included in the HTML page must have full
"absolute" URL links (you must first upload the graphics to a website).
This makes it difficult when different photos will be sent in
different emails. And it tells you cannot view the document before you
send it, for a final proofing.

Is there any other way I can include pictures in the body of an email?

Thanks
