UPDATE : See update for a potential better way to fix stubborn next page section breaks that won’t delete. Until all my pages were letter, I could not remove the next page section break. On one copy/paste, I noticed that the copied pages were A4, while my normal pages were letter size. Last updated on March 10, 2017.UPDATE : Note that you need to make sure that all of your pages are the same size. If you need the Ruler, you can add the Ruler command to the Quick Access toolbar or ribbon and show or hide it as needed. The Ruler is not enabled on by default in newer versions of Outlook. Narrow margins, as seen in this screenshot, generally won't cause problems but wider margins can be a problem. Changing them in the Page Setup options or sliding them to a new position doesn’t seem to work. If the Ruler is not visible, click the ruler toggle at the top of the scrollbar (1) then drag the triangles inward a little.

If you use a wide screen monitor, you have two options: get used to the long lines or don’t open email at full screen – set the open or compose windows to a width suitable for comfortable reading and writing.Īlso keep in mind that HTML is supposed to be fluid – don’t try too hard to control the overall look of your messages – every email client handles formatting differently and the message is never going to be perfect on every system. Leave the default margin settings alone and Outlook will wrap the message to the window or printed page. Their mail client sees the right margin is set to 700 and follows orders – making a really small column when the message window is only 800pt wide. Yes, it makes the email more readable on widescreen monitors when you open the message to fullscreen, but a margin-right of 700pt means it’s not going to look very good when the recipient opens the message on a small screen or tries to print. When you adjust the right (or left) margin, Outlook writes it into the HTML as And if you set the margins too wide, unintended consequences can result. I am stubborn so I want to figure this out.
