Outlook 2007 changes my text aligment

Mar 31, 2012 9:02AM PDT

Hi, there!

I'm desperate. I've been working all day trying to figure out why a perfect newsletter template - with left text alignment - works wonderfully when I send it using my Hotmail account, but the whole text gets centered every time I use Outlook 2007 to send exactly the same newsletter.

Any idea? Everything is fine but the text aligment. I don't think the code is the problem. My guess is that maybe there's a change I have to make on the Outlook 2007 settings.

Please, help Sad

It's a dead end in my view. Here's why.

Word, Outlook and such render based on the video and the printer drivers. So a perfect view on your machine will break on the next PC. There's also yet another way to see different renderings and that's with Word as the editor.

You didn't do anything wrong. Maybe had high expectations of Outlook but that's it.

Guess what? Yesterday, out of all hope, I sent the same newsletter to one of my friends and he received it perfectly well!

I don't know why when I tried sending it to my Hotmail and GMail accounts and I check the email in the same PC I'm working on, it didn't work out.

I send it to another friend and she received it perfectly well too.

Weird...

But I'm happy now. Even though I still see the text centered when I send it to myself, I know the rest of the people will get it right.
