E-Mail Help Needed!

[Angel_Faerie]

I'm using Windows Live Hotmail to type an important letter. I think it would look quite professional if it were double spaced. Only trouble is, I have no clue if it's even possible or how to do it if it is possible. Please help me.

I'm not sure how to do it either, but why don't you just type a letter in Word or something and send it as an attachment on the e-mail?

The person I'm sending the E-Mail to doesn't want an attachment.

I think he meant, type it in word or open office, then when done, copy and paste the text into the email....

I tried that. It came out single-spaced.

You have to make sure the Rich Text Editor is on in Hotmail before pasting in the double spaced content. I just tried it, it works.

How do I turn on the Rich Text Editor?

Open WORDPAD...not Notepad...that is an RTF editor

I was using Microsoft Word.

How do I turn on the Rich Text Editor?

In Hotmail after clicking "New," There should be an option right under the Subject heading that says, "Show Rich Text." click it, and a new toolbar should be added to the top of where you compose your e-mail messages. You should now be able to paste in a Word paragraph that has been formated for double spacing.

Lol what? Who said anything about Notepad

I tried the Rich Text thing. Didn't work. I'm about ready to cry.

I'd just like to know one thing...why is it that he/she doesn't want it sent as an attachment?

Worst comes to worst you just manually make the text double spaced in hotmail. I don't know why it didn't work, it worked for me. Are you sure the Word document is actually formatted to be double spaced, or is it single spaced and every line just skips a space down?

She just told me she doesn't want attachments. Didn't say why.
