This is a real problem for me so I hope someone out there can help. I'm
doing a memo in word with graphics and boxed text on the top of the page. I
click on the graphics and/or boxed text to make sure I've got them aligned
correctly (even though they look funcky on my screen), but when I hit the
file and then send to button and email it out, some people receive it looking
fine, others receive it looking not so fine. what am I doing wrong and how
can I make sure these graphics and boxed text don't move? Thank you so much
for any help - I'm really stumped!

See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Formatting/TextReflow.htm. If you want
recipients to see what you see, you need to send a PDF.

Suzanne, but I don't want to sent it as an attachment, I want them to see it
in memo form from the getgo. Is that not possible?

Part of the problem is that some of your recipients are using HTML for
viewing their email, others are using Text. That alone will cause the message
to display differently, & you can't control it... unless you happen to be the
Grand Potentate who can decree that all recipients *will* view their email in
HTML under penalty of whatever

OK, how do I tell my subjects to change their view to html?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

If you're not sending it as an attachment, there's no hope users will see
exactly what you send. Even if they're viewing in HTML, the lines will wrap
according to the size of the message window.

As Suzanne says, there are any number of variables that will still influence
what the recipient views. That includes setting HTML view in the email client
- how to do it varies with the software... My apologies, as I was being
facetious in that part of my reply.

I fully agree with her - Doing what you want, as you want to do it, with the
result you require cannot be done. Sorry
