Re: Creating a template to replicate the company letter heading
Thanks - got that I am now having problems with the table design. Because of the design I am creating individual tables 1 row x 2 columns. That mostly allows me to treat the tables differently. However on the centre table that has the address and other details on the right column and the message area on the left. I want to just have a border on this cell alone but it seems it is not possible to do this. Tried putting single cell table side by side but they go on separate lines. Any ideas please Regards, David Thanks Rick I think I am finding my through it - maybe Found out that if you set the QT to html then you can insert a graphic and right set it. I was trying to paste it before. Then inserted a table (2 unequal columns) so that I could put the company details in the right column. I then have the left column for the text entry setting the text start at the top. That part will then automatically expand when you type. I sent an email to myself and it seems to work. That is as far as I have got. Haven't yet discovered if you can make the column borders invisible. Right click the table and choose table properties, then set the border AND the cell border to 0. It will be a light gray for editing purposes. Current version is 4.2.23 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Creating a template to replicate the company letter heading
I currently have a trial version of TB 4.2.36.4 which I am changing to (perhaps) from Pocomail. I have copied all the essentials across but cannot work out how to create a template similar to our letter heading. The office uses Outlook which I don't wish to do. It consists of an image (logo) at the top and details down the right hand side. At the moment I cannot even see how to insert an image let alone the rest. From searching through this list it would seem not to be possible but would appreciate some advice in case I have missed something. Is it possible to import a template from Outlook?

Can't import a template but you CAN make one. First decide where you want to create it your choices are and address book entry, an address book GROUP entry, a folder (careful with that one), or an account. In the address books there are tabs for the different templates, in the accounts and folders they are under Properties The FIRST thing you will do is change the message (template) type to HTML. THEN the icons will appear to bold, highlight, add a picture (it links, so keep it in a permanent place) One BUG in the program - if you use any of the items in the HTML menu drop down, you can't use another without leaving the template and coming back.
