I’m writing an Applescript for Outlook to generate a form in an email that we can fill in easily. I want a single-spaced bolded list and for user input to be evenly aligned (hence all the   you’ll see)
What’s driving me crazy is the line spacing. When I run the script and generate the email, it looks perfect. However if the user hits enter, instead of using the down arrow, suddenly I’ve got double spacing beneath the line they just hit enter on, and hitting delete does not remove it. There’s more weird behavior related to the spacing, but it’s all about double spacing being trapped in there somehow.
I’ve searched the boards and the web, but haven’t found an answer. Oh, and the double spacing being trapped in the body seemed to be a bigger problem when I was using HTML “content” vs.“PlainTextContent”
Thanks much in advance!
