Outlook's text feature does not adhere to standard line-height specifications

While working on an HTML email, I encountered an issue with Outlook 2010. Here is the code snippet:

<td background="images/11-text-1--alpha-d3c29e.jpg" 
bgcolor="#d3c29e" width="514" height="460"  valign="top">        
    <!--[if gte mso 9]>
    <v:rect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" fill="true" stroke="false" 
    style="width:514px;height:460px;">
    <v:fill type="tile" src="images/11-text-1--alpha-d3c29e.jpg" color="d3c29e" />
    <v:textbox inset="0,0,0,0">
    <![endif]-->
        <p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:'Courier New',Courier,monospace;
        font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;color:#000000;line-height:15px;">
            #TEXT
        </p>
    <!--[if gte mso 9]>     </v:textbox>   </v:rect>   <![endif]-->
</td>

I want to adjust the line-height of the text, but changing it in the p tag, td tag, or MSO exception doesn't seem to work for Outlook. Is there a solution to make this modification effective, or perhaps a workaround specifically for Outlook?

Answer №1

To ensure Outlook respects the line height rule, you must utilize the mso style "mso-line-height-rule". It is important to note that this should be included BEFORE the declared line-height for it to function correctly. Refer to the example below:

<td background="images/11-text-1--alpha-d3c29e.jpg" 
bgcolor="#d3c29e" width="514" height="460"  valign="top" style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family:'Courier New',Courier,monospace; font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;color:#000000;mso-line-height-rule:exactly; line-height:15px;">        
    <!--[if gte mso 9]>
    <v:rect xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" fill="true" stroke="false" 
    style="width:514px;height:460px;">
    <v:fill type="tile" src="images/11-text-1--alpha-d3c29e.jpg" color="d3c29e" />
    <v:textbox inset="0,0,0,0">
    <![endif]-->   
            #TEXT
    <!--[if gte mso 9]>     </v:textbox>   </v:rect>   <![endif]-->
</td>

Answer №2

It's time to move on from styling the "p" tag, as it is considered outdated and some email clients like Outlook may reject it. I have faced this issue in the past.

My suggestion is to focus on styling the "td" tags instead. If you need to style other text within a section, use the "span" tag with additional styling (while being cautious not to override the styles applied to the "td" tag).

Here's an example below:

<td style="background-color: #2e3242;color:#ffffff; padding: 10px 0;
border-radius: 5px; font-size:15px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;
 line-height: 20px; text-align: center;width:28%; vertical-align: middle">
                                    Lorem Ipsum</td>

And here is an example using a span:

<td width="548" style="color:#a8796b; font-size:14px; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', 
sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: center; 
width:548px; vertical-align: middle">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; font-weight: 300;
font-size: 16px;line-height: 30px;color:#a8796b">
Lorem Ipsum </span><br>
                                    Best Regards,<br>Lorem Ipsum
                                </td>
