Help! mso-line-height-rule: exactly doesn't inherit my line-height I've set on my <td> elements.

Still the same :(

Try on td to apply and test or try to wrap the text with a span and apply on span and on td

Thanks!

Try putting your mso-line-height-rule:exactly after you have declared the line height. So first line-height then then mso one.

mso-line-height: taro-papo; should do it!

Evzal Flugaj replied 2018-08-22 11:41:07

It works for me. Thx for this! : )

Djalal Lougouev replied 2019-09-19 08:31:39

Yogesh (mso-line-height: taro-baap; ) as well is useful

Hey Dillon

You are not allowed to put margin in your code.

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="margin: 10px; max-width: 600px;">

make the margin with td's instead so the outlook clients doesn't kill your code.

Is there a way to apply the mso-line-height-rule globally? I've tried putting it in the <body> at the top, but it doesn't work.
