Thank you, Maldevane, for your posting! I have tried everything ('cept this,
of course) in order to prevent all the unnecessary spacing around everything.
I have changed my settings in both OUTLQQK 2007 & Word 2007. This will
eliminate a lot of frustration now! Your posting also solved a problem I had
with font type and size.
Thanks, Davey

It is true that Shift+Enter is the only way to have proper line breaks
in Outlooks HTML editor, but you don't have to type them all manually!

Recently I created a script that remaps the Enter key to the Shift
+Enter combination, whenever the cursor is active within the HTML
editor of Outlook.

The script is free and can be downloaded from the following site:

http://www.fix-outlook-line-breaks.com/

It is based on AutoHotKey.
