Mac Forum / Applications / Entourage / May 2008How to do an 's in HTML
i post a number of email message to Yahoo Groups and learned the hard way to NEVER (ever) use the Entourage plain text due to the non standard addition of CR's after so many character. The resulting word wrap becomes totally hosed when the message is relayed to the Yahoo Group. The workaround is to use formated HTML text and this work with one issue. Every time i use an apostrophe (') s the resulting output is a broken character. Con someone provide a tip on how to send a 's to a Yahoo Group from Entourage > The workaround is to use formated HTML text > and this work with one issue.

SignatureDiane > i post a number of email message to Yahoo Groups > and learned the hard way to NEVER (ever) use the [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > Con someone provide a tip on how to send > a 's to a Yahoo Group from Entourage I'd try the following. Select AutoCorrect... from the Tools menu. Then select the AutoFormat tab. Make sure that <<"Straight quotes" with "smart quotes">> is NOT selected. I would expect this to work in both HTML and plain text.

Ed, Thank you, thank you! I changed the Entourage default setting and my test message worked perfect. This has been driving me crazy and I really appreciate the tip. I was not aware of the AutoFormat tab options Now if Microsoft would give us the option to stop the addition of a <CR> after x-characters in plain text it would be great. End of Problem - thanks to all who responded to my help request > Now if Microsoft would give us the option to stop the addition of > a <CR> after x-characters in plain text it would be great. Make sure you suggest this to Microsoft. The solution is for Entourage to support format-flowed.

My suggestion was not acknowledged and was probably just ignored. it must be some internal Microsoft thing as Apple's Mail an other mail programs are okay. I have just had to learn to live with the non standard Microsoft weirdness. > I reported the issue under Office 2004 with hopes they would take > corrective action in 2008.

MVPs have been asking for this too so I know it's on the list, it's just the list is long and the priority to add this is getting trumped by other requests. Keep asking. Squeaky wheel....

I doubt even Microsoft could afford personal replies to every message they receive. This is an area where I feel they can improve with at least an automated reply letting you know they received your message. Beyond that, unless you're presenting something new and unusual like a bug that causes data loss and they can't reproduce it, then don't expect acknowledgments. Signaturebill William M.
