Disabling Outlook's advanced typography

I'm using Marketo on marketing emails.
I just want to disable Outlook’s Advanced Typography features on all the mails that I'm sending.
I found these scripts on google to overcome this issue.

 

You can add the “opt-out” code snippet below:

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
<w:WordDocument>
<w:DontUseAdvancedTypographyReadingMail/>
</w:WordDocument>
</xml><![endif]-->

 

Alternatively, you could also apply the namespace directly to the element, and just specify if mso since gte mso 9 simply says “greater than or equal to Outlook 2000”, which is a little redundant. In this case, you can simply use this single standalone code block, inserted anywhere in the head of your email’s HTML:

<!--[if mso]><xml>
<w:WordDocument xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word">
<w:DontUseAdvancedTypographyReadingMail/>
</w:WordDocument>
</xml><![endif]-->

 

To work, this also requires the following xmlns (XML namespace) attribute on the HTML tag:

<html xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word">

 

Non of above is working when I open the mail in a new window. (It's working fine if the email is inside Outlook window)
