My html/css codes render correctly in Mac Outlook but Windows Outlook overrides fonts to Times New Roman. Below is the code to the email. Can someone let me know what am I missing?
<style style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;">
html, body {
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
* {

}
table, td {
mso-table-lspace: 0pt;
mso-table-rspace: 0pt;
}
img {
-ms-interpolation-mode:bicubic;
}
a {
text-decoration: none;
}
</style>
<!--[if !mso]>
<style type=”text/css”>
body, table, td {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif !important;}
</style>
<![endif]-->
</head>

you've got an error in the conditional code where you're trying to target Outlook.
Rather than <!--[if !mso]>, it should be <!--[if mso]>.
With <!--[if !mso]>, you're saying 'if NOT mso'.

I am completely new to HTML. I am working on creating a template for emails in Action Network, however, I can not figure out how to position the elements I created. I would like the donate button to be in the middle and all of the social media links to be on the right, underneath the logo at the top. When I try to move the logos to the right, they end up being in the white area instead of underneath the logo. ANY help is appreciated. The code is below:
#outlook a {
padding: 0;
}

}
.ExternalClass,
.ExternalClass p,
.ExternalClass span,

A <table> approach is the right way for HTML email, mostly for Outlook desktop's sake.
You don't need <div>s since you already have a block level element for positioning and styles: the <td>. Put all the styles on the div in the containing <td>.
You can do block-level centering with <center> tag, or the align attribute, and inline/text-level centering with text-align (on the closest block-level parent is best). (Lookup online about block vs inline, it's very important. e.g. https://www.samanthaming.com/pictorials/css-inline-vs-inlineblock-vs-block/)
For ease and consistency, place each row on a new <tr> (table row), and then in the <td> (table data), which always comes inside a row, set your desired padding. (Margins don't work across all email clients.)
Then you can set, e.g. your social media to the right like so:
<tr>
<td align="right">
<!-- Social media icons -->
</td>
</tr>
And your donate button on next line like so:
<tr>
<td align="center">
<!-- Donate button -->
</td>
</tr>
To get them on the same line, use two <td>s in the same row, with desired widths and alignments.
Btw what you have in the <style> part is good. Those reset a few problems in various email clients. Keep researching, but remember HTML email is different because many email clients are pretty backwards.
I have created a HTML email and seem to be having issues on some outlooks and mobile outlook with the table cells borders I have attached an image of the issue there seems to be a thin lines where the table cells are.

I thought this was a common issue known as the Outlook Line bug but it isn't.
I couldn't see lines on the desktop versions, but only on the mobiles--because your template is not responsive. So, the Outlook rendering engine is adding an "outlook-overflow-scaling" span wrapper around your tables to compensate.
If you were to make your table responsive (so, for example use width 100%), it would not need to try and scale the email.
I'm trying to create a responsive HTML email for Outlook 2013 but I'm having trouble trying to get the email to respect the width limit I have set (i.e. width="100%"). The actual width is indeed being set to 100% until I reach a certain smaller width at which point I have to scroll to view the information.
The code works fine in IE (no surprise) so I know the code itself is at least appropriate in that sense (i.e. I haven't wrapped something incorrectly).

Recap: My email extends beyond the width limit I have it set for and I can't figure out why. Outlook is a pain in my butt.
Outlook isn't broken, your code exhibits the same behavior in almost every email client.
The problem is that you set all the tables to have a width of 100%. On many of them, you added the class .deviceWidth, where you specify the width in media queries, but not for anything wider than 640px. Outlook does not support #media queries.
Try adding .deviceWidth {width:440px!important; padding:0;} to your style sheet outside of media queries and address your width="100%" on every table.
JSFiddle is not working for me right now so I can't show you a sample.
Good luck.
Outlook doesn't respect 100% width so you need to set a fixed width for outlook, add width to the wrapper table
<table class="for_others" align="center" border="0"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="600">
And using the class set width to 100% for all others. Use !important at the end of the declaration to override inline css.
table.for_others {width: 100% !important;}
I'm designing an email and I'm not sure how to make text aligned with the rows below it. I want the "Our Weather Experts" and "ARE LOOKING OUT FOR YOU." to stretch across the table and be flush with the rows below it that includes the paragraph and learn more button. I tried using letter spacing and different sorts of padding, but is this even possible?
It's supposed to look like this:
I also tried to get the "Our Weather Experts" line to be skinny text, but the font-weight: lighter attribute doesn't seem to be working either.
Any help would be appreciated.

What you want to do is
text-align:justify;
but with only one line of text it gets a bit messy.
You need to add an empty container with a width of 100% to push the text to the end.
<span style="display:inline-block;width:100%;"></span>
Then it will add extra space below the text so you need to adjust the line-heights.

You could set box-sizing to border-box, however since this is a relatively new property, not all browsers (especially email clients) may support it.
