Outlook 2010 line height

Sacha Clément posted 2014-03-19 06:53:12

Hello All,

Here's one that should be easy for the experts out there.

Line heights are ignored totally in Outlook 2010. How can this be fixed? I did try the sytle="mso-line-height-rule:exactly" but it doesn't seem to work.

In this case, I am trying to have a grey separator do it's job of separating sections. In gmail and most clients, fine. But in Outlook it squeezes the height down to the minimum.

Suggestions?

Thanks,
Sacha

This is our robust trick that we have used for well over a year now.

Add this just below the closing head tag </head>

<!--[if gte mso 15]>
  <style type="text/css">
    table { font-size:1px; line-height:0; mso-margin-top-alt:1px; }
  </style>
  <![endif]-->

Then wherever you need to declare a space use this as your spacer table (change height and widths as appropriate to the situation):

<table width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
              <tbody>
                <tr>
                  <td height="15" style="font-size:1px; line-height:1px;">&nbsp;</td>
                </tr>
              </tbody>
            </table>
