    Change Font formatting mid-sentence of HTMLBody Outlook mail

    Hello everyone!

    I've got the following code (thanks in part to some helpful folks here) which is working but I'm having a tough time changing the font formatting. I'm trying to add code to change the font color after Red to another color but have not found any examples online. Everything mentions the paragraph styling which when I use will put the text on a new paragraph.

    --Also, how can I space the table elements? Currently there is almost no spacing and I'd want to put a few tabs between the columns.

    To change the colour for text within a sentence, try...

    <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);">your text</span>

    Change the colour, accordingly.

    Hope this helps!

    Try...

    "<p>This is another <span style=""color:rgb(31,73,125);"">sentence</span> where one word has a different font color.</p>"

    That did the trick! Here's my final code. Now I've got to find a way to add some space between the table columns. I'd think by now I owe someone a lunch!!!

    It doesn't look that your code actually creates a table consisting of two columns, which is what I think you want. Try to adopt the following code, which creates a table consisting of 2 rows and 2 columns...

    Notice that the each <tr>...</tr> refers to one row, and each <td>...</td> refers to one column. Adjust the widths for each column, accordingly. And, you may want to adjust the cellpading and cellspacing.

    Hope this helps!

    Thank you Domenic, working on this now. Is there a tag to allow a table cell to word wrap? Or would that happen on its own?

    Cool beans, I could use a break! I'm slowly adding your new table layout into the VBA and its working.

    Just an update, been hammering away at VBA but I can say the output looks polished and great. The VBA code however is totally different. Posting code here should anyone want to mess with tables, font formatting within the HTMLBody for an Outlook email.
