Non-scrolling background

G

Geoff

I want to use a background picture in Outlook. However, I dont want the the
picture to scroll up the screen when there is a long text message. In other
words, I want the text to scroll up or down but the picture to remain
"locked". I have seen it on an email sent to me, but don't know how to
reproduce the effect. There doesn't seem to be any options in Outlook, so
is it an added HTML code?

Any help much appreciated.

Geoff.

Yes, the html stationery is using an inline cascade style sheet to set the
background-repeat option.

Thanks for the info. Is this something I can set up within Outlook itself
or can you tell me where I can get further information?

Thanks,

Geoff.

Thanks for the info.
Is this something I can set up in Outlook itself or can you suggest a source
of further information on how to do it?

It isn't something you setup in Outlook, but it is something that you can do
yourself. You are going to be creating an HTML document in notepad with an
inline cascade style sheet and saving to C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Microsoft Shared\Stationery. Basically your HTML file would contain
this section of html markup. (Background-Attachment and Background-Repeat
are the two that would be the applicable to your question.)

<head>
<style>
BODY {
BACKGROUND-ATTACHMENT: fixed;
BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat;
BACKGROUND-COLOR: "#949AD4";
FONT-FAMILY: "Arial";
MARGIN: 18px 10px 20px 245px
}

</style>
<title></title>
</head>


I'm still trying to find a good (read complete) source on the internet for
creating stationery, but I'm not coming away with much in favorites because
it is a hodge podge that drives one to this area. :/
