Tables in mac.entourage?

I receive e-mails in html format with tables and graphics on a regular
basis. I'd like to send an e-mail newsletter out done the same way.
Question is-- how? Entourage lets me do some things in html, but no
tables or etc. When I do a table in another program and paste it in
entourage, the table disappears. Same thing happens when I forward a
formatted e-mail I've received on to someone else. Hope this isn't a
well-worn question...but I'd sure like to know how to do this. And if
Entourage doesn't support it, what is the best program to turn to? (I've
tried working with Netscape which seems to want to do it for me-- but
for some reason that program acts very odd on my computer...and only
works once in awhile. Thanks for any help-/advice!!

In Office 2004 you use Word to create the message and then select Sent
To -> Mail Recipient (as HTML) from the File menu. You don't do it
directly in Entourage.

There is also a great script by AS Master Paul Berkowitz that will allow
Entourage X and 2004 to send complex HTML [tables, inline images, etc]. You
can find it here:

Or at the tiny version if you have trouble with that link:

This is the answer to newsletters.


Although, I do not believe it will assist in forwarding those. However the
workaround is to not "forward" but "redirect" and then let them know in a
separate email it was [or is coming] from you.

Hope this helps!

Or, in Entourage 2004, you can use the "Forward as Attachment" feature
located under the "Message" menu.
