Email question. Please help.

7 replies
Hey folks,

I have a silly question.

On your autoresponder (I use Aweber), how do you set the character width? All the emails I get from Frank Kern and Joe Vitale and all the others are around 45 characters or something.

How is that done?

Here's what I do.

I write the document in Word, set the margins to 2.75 inches on both sides. It shrinks it on Word, but when I do a copy/paste to notepad or Aweber the message is long and I have to edit the entire doc.

Could somebody here please give me a hand with this?

Thanks

Shane

    If you use plain text version, then there is a tab at the top right which says "wrap long lines". That should do the trick for you. Hope this helped.

      Firstly, NEVER import your e-mail copy from Word directly
      into your autoresponder.

      Why?

      You'll end-up getting strange characters pasted over every
      once in a while.

      Instead, edit your e-mail copy in a plain text editor such as
      NotePad.

      To get the hard line breaks, I insert them manually as I go
      along in the writing process.

      By the way, some e-mail clients don't translate the hard
      line breaks if you just press the enter key after each line.

      A workaround is to press the space bar three times and
      then press the enter key. That way, all of your hard line
      breaks will come through in the majority of e-mail clients.

      Dedicated to mutual success,

      Shaun

    Hope your answer was solved in the 2nd post. That should work.

    Just start typing and when the line starts getting too long just hit "return"

    ..or use "shift+enter" to get to the line directly below.
