@Dave_Roberts Yep - VML all the way for border radius. The preview edition of Outlook still needs all the VML and MSO directives... YUCK! I actually, somewhat ironically, reported a bug to Microsoft about the MSO directive processing in the preview edition. I mean seriously, they are making CHANG...

@kenmckown ,what does your string look like. Also, what does the rendered CSS/HTML look like when you are in preview mode? Don't forget also to consider the VML you'll need to at least get text with background image working in Outlook. If you google, you'll find examples. Once you've had a crack ...

@alludoalex , looking at the URL for the image in the OP, it is already in Marketo design studio.

@Dave_Roberts ,I've had no problems over the years with Outlook buttons and rounded corners. I've left the Litmus stuff behind long ago, but I still find it a useful jumping off point. I've read that the new Outlook is supposed to be more standard, but my experience says it still relies on VML and ...

@kenmckown ,There is good intel here: https://nation.marketo.com/t5/champion-program-blogs/email-template-quick-start-guide/ba-p/344792It misses some stuff, but in terms of basics like how to use variables, it'll give you what you need.CheersJo

@kenmckown ,Outlook supports fairly limited HTML. It's very frustrating. You need to become familiar with VML if you want to become expert at email template coding (not just Marketo, this is universal). For buttons, check out this resource, there is good reading here.https://www.litmus.com/blog/a-...

@sierraforsberg,OK, so this is confusing. If all you're trying to do is share the file with a partner, why are you trying to do it via Marketo? Why don't you just give them the OFT and let them load it into Outlook and send it. It sounds like you need to step back, really clarify what you're tryin...

@sierratoman ,Are you trying to get a prebuilt email that you can give to a partner (in this case MS) so that they can in turn use that email to promote a co-hosted event?CheersJo

@kenmckown ,yes - you can do a 'fall back' colouryes - you can have a background imageyes - you can overlay textyes - you can do these as variables.WATCH OUT - Outlook will need special case coding and does not support transparency (or opaqueness depending on your point of view) for colours, backgro...

@sierraforsberg ,OFTs are a native Outlook email format. I'd not be at all surprised if the Marketo Email builder breaks them in some manner (I'd need to see the generated output). The bigger question, why are you trying to use OFT format? Why not just use an HTML email, and if you want to link ...
