[Email formatting issues]

When I send an e.mail created in word (ie mhtml) to my gmail account the text is centred even though it is left formatted on the original e.mail and appears left formatted when received in outlook. I want to use it as an enewsletter so want it to appear the same whatever client is used.

The solution leaps off the page: quit using Word, do everything in a standalone html-editor, or a mail client with native, standards-compliant implementation of html editor. Word does everything primarily to stay compatible with other versions of itself and fellow-MS products, not with W3-standards as such (to verify my statement export any mildly-complex Word.doc as html, then open it using plaintext editor, and admire the amount of garbage put there by Bill Gates-droids....)
