Change the colour of text in an Outlook email

paullem · Mar 17, 2008

Hi,

I have a VB application that sends out emails. Ideally i'd like to use different colours for certain words and sentences within the body of the email.

Has anyone come across this before or have any ideas?

Many Thanks,

Paul

If you format the replay as an html message, that is easily performed.

Code:

<HTML>
<BODY>
Test <FONT COLOR=RED> TEST </FONT>
</BODY>
</HTML>

Hi BrianLW,

Thanks for your reply. I'm not sure what you mean by 'formating the replay'?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi Paul,
I think BrianLW means formatting the 'reply' meaning your email. You can use html tags in the body of your email as he has posted above.

Hope this helps

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply. That makes sense now. I was quite tired when I replied. I think there's a moral there somewhere?

Thanks,

Paul
