This tutorial will address the three different types of text that are available using Microsoft Outlook. It will include a brief explanation of the different types and example emails using the three different types of text.
Plain Text
Plain text is exactly what it sounds like: it's completely plain. You can still do all the normal capitalization and punctuation etc, but you can not add color, hyperlinks, or make it fancy.
Rich Text
Rich Text gives you more options to customize your emails. You can change the font, the size, the color, insert photos, and make the overall appearance of your email look better.
HTML Text
HTML is a great option. You have all of the versatility of RICH text but with the added option of hyperlinks. Under this option, when you type in an e-mail address or a web address, the system will automatically code it out in BLUE and underline it, and turn it into a hyperlink, so whomever gets the email can just click on the hyperlink and be directed to the webpage or email address.
