Outlook Express - HTML
editor?Open Outlook Express and click the
Creat Mail button.
In the new message window that popped
up, go to View Source
Edit.
Now this is something you may not have seen
before.
There are now three tabs at the bottom of the
window.
The Edit tab is now
on top and we are ready to compose a message.
Here's the message I typed in.
I can make it fancy with the editing buttons
on top of the text entry area.
Now I'm done with the message, see what
happens below when I click the Source
tab.
Dang! don't that kinda look like html. Yes,
real sloppy html, but it still works.
Once you have the
Source open you can edit it directly to fix things
(if you know what you are doing). Or you can go back to the
Edit tab and Click File Save
As and pull down the Save as Type
menu to HTML Files (*.htm, *.html) then save it.
Hey, I just created an HTML file using Outlook
Express.
Tips:
You can use the
Preview window to see if the hyperlinks you make
work right.
You can insert pictures but check the source
code and make sure you are pointing the image source at an Internet
location when you plan on using this online.
I found out that you need to uncheck
Send Pictures with Message in the
Format menu to keep Outlook Express from using
local references for images.
You can only insert tables by typing in the
code in the Source window.
Now go out and make web pages ...
