Insert a scrolling text in a message
You have probably already received messages with
a message or a signature that scrolls on the screen as below:
Here's how to proceed:
Open Windows Notepad (Start, Programs, Accessories, Notepad)
Type on the blank page exactly the signs and words below:
<marquee height="27">Scrolling text</marquee>
Then replace Scrolling text with the words of your choice. Save your file as: signature.htm and select as file type: All (*.*)
Open Internet Explorer or another browser, then click File, Open, Browse and locate your signature.htm file.
You should see this appear: the text scrolls to the left
********************
If you want the text to scroll to the right you will need to open your file again in Notepad, and add:
direction="right" after height"27" i.e.:
<marquee height="27" direction="right" >Bienvenue sur les idées d'Albert</marquee >
Save your file ( still .htm) and view the result in Internet Explorer
********************
If you want the text to alternate from side to side, you will need to modify your code:
<marquee height="27" behavior="alternate">Bienvenue sur les idées d'Albert</marquee>
********************
If you want the text to slide and then stop on the left, the code will be:
<marquee height="27" behavior="slide">Bienvenue sur les idées d'Albert</marquee>
Perhaps you will not see the above effect, because the text only moves when opened and then stops. But in a short message, the recipient has time to visualize the effect. Same for below
********************
If you want the text to slide and stop on the right, the code will be:
<marquee height="27" direction="right" behavior="slide">Bienvenue sur les idées d'Albert</marquee>
********************
You can add a background color:
<marquee height="27" bgcolor="#CCCCFF">Bienvenue sur les idées d'Albert</marquee>
you need to know the code. Here are a few:
#000000 #808000 #808080
#008000 #000080 #FFFF00
#800000 #800080 #00FF00
#00FFFF #FF00FF #C0C0C0
#FF0000 #0000FF #008080
Don’t forget the quotation marks
********************
You can of course, use a different font from the default
<marquee style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 18 pt">Bienvenue sur les idées d'Albert</marquee>
Be careful to use fonts commonly installed on all computers, otherwise your recipient may not see your signature
To specify a font color add color
<marquee style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: 18 pt;color:#FF00FF">
Bienvenue sur les idées d'Albert</marquee>
Don’t forget the semicolon.
********************
If you want the scrolling text not to take the full width, add
width="200"
Test with different numbers
********************
When you have finished your creation. In Outlook, click in the menu bar on Tools, Options, Signatures. Click New, then check File and click Browse. Locate and select your signature file. htm. Close the Options window by clicking OK.
For your next message, you can click on Insert, Signature. If you create several signatures, you will need to choose.
Important: you must be in HTML formatted because in plain text, the signature option will be dimmed.
Attention, when composing a message, the text does not move. But after you send it. View the result by opening your message in Sent Items.
