Graphics Shift in Email Signature

[Stef]

I am creating an email signature for company-wide use in Outlook 2003.

Here is what I am doing.
Once in Word from the Advanced Edit option, I insert my graphic which is a
3D rectangle with our company logo within it.
I format this graphic to be "behind text", and have left/top alignment to
the margin.

I then create a table to input the text for the signature.
I set the table up to appear over my graphic (so essentially the end
signature appears like a business card, the text aligned evenly to the right
and bottom border of the rectangle).

My problem occurs when I send an email using this signature. When I am
composing my message, the signature looks fine. It looks exactly as it did
when I was creating it in Word.
When the email is received, either the graphic, or the text, has shifted
left or right.

What is causing this and what can I do to fix it?

Thanks!

MS Word is not a good chose when creating HTML for email signatures.
The output from Word is not W3C valid and renders poorly on major
email clients.

Instead use this online editor:

Alternatively, use your prefered editor (not Word) and use these
templates as inspiration:

Thanks Jesper. I appreciate the information. My boss ended up wanting to
change the design and the new one isn't having the same issue! But I will
check out those links.
