Outlook adding extra line breaks in emails
Hi-
This has been a problem for me for the past couple years with Outlook 2002, 2003 and now 2007. When I write emails to people and hit Enter, Outlook shows me the cursor dropping one line (without a space in between). When I want a space between my paragraphs I have to hit Enter twice. Seems simple enough. However, when I see replies coming back to me and when I have seen my email in other systems (mostly web based as far as I can tell: Hotmail, Gmail, etc.) there are always double the number of line spaces. For instance, if I press Enter twice in order to see a space between paragraphs, to them it looks like I have hit Enter 4 times. Can anyone help with what might be causing this and how I can fix this? It is really annoying that this is happening. Thanks! -Dan |

Outlook adding extra line breaks in emails
I've noticed that does it but is there any way that I can make that the
default? That method seems to work best in all rendering situations and I was hoping it was some setting or registry tweak. -Dan "Diane Poremsky" wrote: it's caused by differences in html rendering in web-based email. try shift+enter twice instead of just enter if it bugs you. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Author, Teach Yourself Outlook 2003 in 24 Hours Need Help with Common Tasks? http://www.outlook-tips.net/beginner/ Outlook 2007: http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/ol2007/ Outlook Tips by email: Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com Subscribe to Exchange Messaging Outlook newsletter: "Dan" wrote in message ...

This is a Word issue with paragraph style spacing, not an issue with Outlook. Ask in a Word group on how to modify the paragraph spacing. In Word docs, there is no spacer line between paragraphs (logically there is only a CR-LF between them, no blank line which would then be a pair of CR-LF characters). Word adds the spacing because of printed documents doing so, like in books. It is *displayed* with the spacing between paragraphs despite there is no actual blank line between them. Each time you hit enter, you have added another paragraph even if it has no characters in it, so you get the inter-paragraph spacing displayed again. Word is a crappy HTML editor and also bloats your e-mails with Word-only specific directives that having nothing to do with HTML formatting. You'll have to configure Word to behave as you want should you continue using Word as your new-mail editor. |

Outlook adding extra line breaks in emails
Thanks for your help. I'll try the Word newsgroup. It would be nice if in the
next version of Office they either fix this with Word or offer another editor for composing emails. Thanks again, -Dan "VanguardLH" wrote: "Dan" wrote in message ...
