Entourage's own HTML editor does not make tables, which is what keeps columns neatly in place. By using Word, as you correctly suggest, Word's HTML editor is used instead. There isn't any way of doing that directly from Entourage, but at least Word 2004 has the ability to "call" Entourage to do the sending.

You can do similar on the Mac but you have to open Word to an empty document. You can paste what you want. You then go to the File menu, select Send To, the Mail Recipient (as HTML). What¹s missing in Entourage is a simple way of invoking this. -- Matthew Smith From: "Samuel D.

I have been trying to accomplish this in Entourage for years to little avail. The best I can do is use a combination of tabs, spaces and backspaces to line up the data at least on my composition screen -- and pray that the recipient finds my data intelligible. So I had to ask the sender how he accomplished this. He replied that he simply copied the data from an Excel spreadsheet and pasted it into his Outlook message screen. I don't believe that method works satisfactorily for Entourage users yet, without the data splaying all over the place. When I clicked on the reply button, even his nicely organized data collapsed into columns. Is an enhancement for Entourage users in the offing?
