You are going to have formatting issues in general when converting to html,
and especially if you don't KISS and not add any special formatting. Read
the Formatting in E-mail...part of the second link, for just some of the
things that will create problems. Bottom line is even if the message goes
through, the reader must have a html enabled email client, and you never
will know if the message will actually appear as you intended...especially
if it is forwarded.

The only sure fire ways to not have your messages messed up is to send them
as images...which makes the message too large, or convert your Publisher doc
into PDF and attach it. You can use the PDF add-in in Pub 2007 or download
and install www.primopdf.com for a free pdf converter.

Hi LinEhlen,
I'm just getting back to this problem but have yet to find a resolution.
Any luck? I'll make sure to post a resolution here should I find one.
Thanks for your input!

Funny, I've been experiencing almost the same exact problem today and
have
been searching for an answer the majority of the afternoon!!!

I even tried converting all my text boxes to a table format and that just
jacked up the email even more. When I do an email preview it looks
perfect -
AUGH! (I'm using Pub/Outlook 2007)

Hello,
I'm using Publisher 2003 to create an email blast. I'm using the built
in
email templates, which are suppose to be formatted for email. In
attempting
to send these in an email, I've discovered that the recipient sees all
the
objects out of order, and overlapping graphics (as a part of the
template
design) get pushed to the next spot. I realized that "grouping"
objects will
form one graphic, and will display the desired results on the
recipients
email. My problem occurs when I incorporate text boxes. If I select
all and
group all, the entire email is sent as a jpeg and is viewable
perfectly. But
I lose the functionality of the text boxes (hyperlinks and the ability
to
insert fields from my email blast sw), since it's converted to an
image. If
I only group the images and keep the text boxes ungrouped, the email
comes
accross so that all the text boxes come first in the email, and all the
images are pushed to the bottom of the message, not at all what is
intended.
I can view the image fine when I do and "email preview", but when I
actually
send it, I cannot get the images and text boxes to layout correctly.
Any
suggestions? Thanks!
