Newbie Question: Code generated by Dreamweaver posted into Outlook

[Luvsql]

I am so new to html/coding everything. I create our company's newsletters in Dreamweaver and unfortunately due to some issues with Microsoft CRM, I have to use tables and do a couple things with the code in order to make it work (can't use divs for example). For some reason, when I paste in the html code from the site from IE into Outlook (which mimicks my issue when I email the newsletter out of CRM and view in Outlook), a gap is appearing between the table border and cannot figure out what is causing it. I've removed pics, rows, re-added, nothing seems to fix this weird gap.

The gap is appearing below the last photo and the footer banner (one just above the facebook pic). I would appreciate any help whatsoever as I'm pulling my hair out wondering what Outlook is doing or what the code is telling Outlook to do. So if you Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C from the site and paste it into Outlook, a gap appears. I do not see the issue in Windows Live Mail or even Gmail. It's just Outlook 2007. Even Word 2007 doesn't add the gap.

My newsletter is at

I would be grateful for any help!

I'm not going to bother trying to reproduce your problem (I don't have the offending applications installed - nor want to install them).

I shall offer 2 things for you to try, though:

1) Remove all whitespace around the area where the problem is happening (carriage returns, spaces, tabs - anything)
2) Ensure the HTML is valid (passes validation)

If neither of them work, then I'm out of quick-fire suggestions (other than: get your company to sort out the tools you need, and the skills you need to do your job properly).

Cheers,
Jeff

Make sure your web page and css validates properly against the doctype you have chosen - before you attempt to debug a problem!

FWIW, have you tried removing the height attribute from the TD in the last TR?

<TD height=366 vAlign=top align=left>
