Emailing a txt doc

[Microaccess novice]

I have a requirement to send a email to individual clients via my access database 2003 . I am using the email address of the client in the current open form . I then created a query using the id to filter that particular client, this query then becomes my record set
The content for the email is held in a .txt file , On my c drive . Every things appears fine however the fonts that I select in the .txt file are not being use in the actual email body. I created a word document with my preferred fonts and copied and pasted them into the .txt file but on sending the email the selected fonts do not appear.

I have attached a demo of what I am trying to do . To test enter your own email in the email address field of the form . Note the .txt file is on the C:/ drive .

Should I being using a word document ?

Any advise would be appreciated.

I could be 100% wrong here but I think your problem is the .txt.
From what I understand a .txt has only one type of font and it can’t be changed. If you are creating something in word and then trying to copy it to a .txt, as soon as it gets pasted its striped of all embedded whatever that keeps track of the font you selected in Word.
I would go with a word doc.

Thank you very much for taking the time to offer advice, When I copy and paste from word into a .txt file the formatting is in place, and the actual .txt has a drop down for formatting . My problem occurs when I try to send the contents of the .txt via access to an Email . I will attempt to use a word .doc as you suggested hopefully access will recognise .doc !

Thanks the .doc worked , did not use before as I mistakenly assumed the client would have to have word installed. Thanks again
