Stationery background image problem

Hi

I have created stationery with below code. Previewing in IE, the background
image appears as non-repeating and as large as its original size but when
installed as stationery in outlook, in a new message it appears repeated and
much smaller. What is the problem and how can I make the background image
not to repeat?

Thanks

Regards

Try...

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">

</style>
<title></title>
</head>
<BODY BACKGROUND="MyImage.jpg">
<div> </div>
</body>
</html>

Image & HTML file should be in the program files\common files\microsoft
shared\stationerystationary folder.

Hi Neo

Many thanks. Tried that but the problem still remains. I have attached the
main image e.jpg and how it appears in Outlook 2007 (tiled.jog). Both are on
scale.

Thanks again

Regards

I don't have OL2007, but it doesn't suprise me that it isn't working. From
what I understand from OL2007 was revampled where it is always using Word as
the editor, so it is quite possible that it ignores the inline css.
