Formatting E-Mail Messages

Outlook lets you format text so that it looks more attractive to you and your recipients. For example, you can apply bold, italic, underline, colors, and other rich formatting to your messages. You also can add HTML formatting to your messages, including tables, hyperlinks, heading levels, and more. Plain text messages cannot be formatted.

Use a Rich Text or HTML Message Format

  1. Create a new message, and add some text.

  2. Click the Options tab in the ribbon.

  3. Choose HTML or Rich Text from the Format group on the Ribbon.
