Creating an email and setting the line spacing to 1 (1 Viewer)

[atrium]

I'm trying to use the HTMLBody. I set the font and the font size but I can't seem to set the line spacing.

 Me.strBody = "Your Text Here"
 .HTMLBody = "<p style='font-family:calibri;font-size:14.5; line-height: 1'>" & Me.strBody & "</p>"

According to what I've seen, that should work OK. What is the effect that you are seeing that lets you know it isn't working?

When the user types in the area "Your Text Here" it double spaces the lines. The font is fine and the font size is right but not the line spacing

Yes, I have the same problem with my HTML styled e-mails. Would be interesting if anyone knows a solution for this...

Seems to me I just answered something like this.

You'll have to play with it a bit. Try using decimal 1.0, then maybe try fractional height to see what spacing you get.

In my case, I generate an email with text, all this has the correct line height, default I guess.
But when you start typing in there, it gets a huge line height 1,5 or maybe even 2.0

I didn't try specifying the line height like above yet. Will try

I tested it today, but adding the line height parameter in the HTML code makes no difference. The content is generated correctly, but as soon as you start typing in the email, it starts using a massive line height.

Hi

I can send HTML email from Access with a line spacing=1.
The trick is to use a non-breaking space (&nbsp).
If you use </P> an extra line is inserted in the text

The HTML below sends an email as in the attached image:

==============================================

strMsg = "<P>Hi " & strForename & "</P>" & _
" <DIV><B><I>" & GetProgramName() & " (" & GetProgramShortName() & ")</B></I> has been updated to version <B><I>" & GetLatestSDAVersion() & "</B></I><DIV>" & _
" <DIV>This contains new features, performance improvements & bug fixes.</DIV>" & _
" <P>However, you are currently using <B><I>" & GetProgramShortName() & "</B></I> version <B><I>" & strVersion & "</B></I> on the computer " & strWorkstation & "." & _
" <DIV>Please open <B><I>" & GetProgramShortName() & "</B></I> using the desktop shortcut  " & _
" <IMG border=0 hspace=0 alt='' src='" & GetCriteria() & "SDA5.png' width=25 align=baseline height=25>" & _
"   so it can be updated:<DIV></P> " & _
" <P><IMG border=0 hspace=0 alt='' src='" & GetSelection() & "SDAUpdater1.gif' align=baseline></P>" & _
" NOTE:<DIV></DIV> If the program fails to update to version <B><I>" & GetLatestSDAVersion() & "</B></I>, please repeat this and click the " & _
"<B><I>Force Update </B></I> button on the updater screen." & _
"<P>=================================================</P>" & _
"This is an automated email sent from <B><I>" & GetProgramName() & "</B></I><DIV>" & _
"Please do NOT reply as this email address is not monitored</DIV></P>"

Just a correction to my previous post.
It should read:
The trick is to use a </DIV> rather than </P> at the end of the line of text

Of course, using   just creates a space

BTW I don't specify the line spacing anywhere in my code for this email
It defaults to line spacing = 1 unless I use </P> at the end of a line of text
