Email Templating for Outlook - What are the Tricks on padding/distance?_问答_开发者

i hate writing email templates.

with that said, i have a pretty good table'd template created yet Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010 is creating a lot of spacing between the TR than I notice in other email clients.

OL 2007 (http://screencast.com/t/YJ5LdTkiGR) OL 2010 (http://screencast.com/t/Ob1ii370C)

The code is found below. Any help in getting things to work in Outlook would be greatly appreciated so I can learn and next time not have to bug you :)

Please try to use below inline style to empty tds avoid more spacing of because empty tds

style="font-size:0%; line-height:1px; mso-line-height-rule:exactly;"

simple and happy coding

The extra space is caused by this empty row:

<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>

Try replacing that row with:

<tr>
<td height="0" style="padding: 0; margin: 0; height: 0;"></td>
</tr>

Alternatively, sometimes when dealing with Outlook it's easiest to use <br> for spacing.

Here's your full HTML with 2 <br> added at the end of the last paragraph:
