Oulook 2010 displays images in mail signature at 166% - html

When I try and create an HTML email signature and choosing it as my signature in Outlook the resulting display is horrendous. It literally ignores all the inline styles I specify on my text (eg, font-size:13px) and appears to enlarge things by about 66%. Even when I use the signature editor, my images end up enlarged. All the content lives inside a table layout.
I've tried many fixes from around the web, including opening the HTML in a browser and selecting all, then copying and pasting into the editor window. Even when I insert the image via the editor, it still comes out at that bigger size on the receiver's end. I've tried adding additional headers too.
I'd appreciate any input to help me solve this. The signature works fine in Thunderbird.

Copy/Paste Images From Web Page To Word, But They Appear As Empty Rectangles

I maintain a website that uses WordPress. From time-to-time, one of my associates opens a page in the browser, highlights some text and images, and copy/pastes it into Microsoft Word, in order to provide summaries of content to one of our higher-ups.
Ordinarily, this would be an uneventful task. However, this process is now not working. When we highlight, then copy/paste content from a page, the text will transfer over to Word, but the images will not. We simply see an empty rectangle where the images should be. A screenshot, demonstrating that web page content that is copied, displays as nothing more than an empty rectangle when pasted.
This behavior is consistent across IE, Chrome, Opera, and Firefox. This problem occurs whether we use Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Writer. No updates were made to Word or our browsers during this time.
Of course, we want the images to display in Word, rather than empty rectangles. What can we do to make the images display in Word?
Insert image from your local system if problem persist, then its your Word issue. If local images are showing perfectly then just save a copy of image from online resource to your local system and add images from there. may be its just because of word is taking online reference for image and could not connect to internet to resolve them and showing you broken image. or the image you are adding is not supported by the older version of word such as .svg graphics. make sure you are adding images with .jpeg/jpg , .png, .gif file extension.

Identical HTML not rendering the same

I have a program that let's people design web pages graphically. Then hitting Publish creates an html file that is supposed to be an exact copy of what they created. The elements created by the editor are HTML elements. Publish then gathers up all the elements that have been created and for each one adds it to a string with
canvasOuterHTML += clone$[0].outerHTML;
So all the styles, text, etc., get put on the string. This string, along with some other information is written to the .html version of the page, and when this .html is loaded into a browser the browser displays the page!
But something is expanding the published page vertically. I've created the simple page below to illustrate. The first image is the page in the editor. The second image is what the html displays in the browser.
I'm completely stumped because the HTML and CSS for the two markups is exactly the same, so how can one be higher? I can't even think of a mechanism that would do that. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

Background image of DIV - Not appearing but image is valid

I cannot get the image to display... in an HTML e-mail. It does display in the browser. I have looked over similar posts and think I am missing something obvious. Trees/forest. Any ideas? TIA.
code:
<div style="margin-left:10px;background-image:url(http://info.enterprisedb.com/rs/enterprisedb/images/banner_img.jpg);background-repeat:repeat-x;width: 750px; height: 210px;">

</div>
I should add that this does display in some browsers, but when coming through in an e-mail it only works in some cases - Gmail is oK, Outlook is not.
For some reason it doesn't work in an certain e-mail programs, though its pretty basic HTML. I've been testing with sharklasers which also does not display the image. If I put it in the e-mail as a standard img link (not in the div) it displays fine in these e-mail programs.
By default, OWA(Outlook Web App) will block some external content in HTML messages, such as pictures or sounds linked within the message. These links are hidden references (not the underlined kind that you click to activate) in the HTML source code to an external location on the Internet, such as a website. They are triggered when the message is opened or previewed, which prompts a download of the external content.

After looking here : Background images not working in Outlook 2007 and later , it appears that the only way to make background-image work in Outlook is to use it on the <body> tag. That may not be what you want but we can't do much about that, that's how Outlook is made :/

Plain text converts to link on mobile

I have a name like this Domain.com, in my normal e-mail account it will be displayed as plain text but at my mobile it's a link.
Is it possible to disabble it by a tag?
This is the email client adding the link afterwards. Trick is to make it unrecognizable so that it isn't triggered.
This article addresses the issue.
If you are not building a full html email (no style tag), you might be able to get away with adding a zero width space  in the domain to help break it up. Something like this might work:
http://domain.com

Outlook-2010 does not display image alt-text. Shows "the linked image cannot be displayed..."

I have a scenario where I want to check whether the alt-text of image, added on mail, is shown correctly while sending a mail or not. To test this, we added an img tag in mail but gave nothing in src and added an alt-text.
Now the problem is that the outlook-2010, instead of showing the alt-text, shows its own message "the linked image cannot be displayed.....". How can we avert this message to check our alt-text. Is there a better way to test such scenario in outlook-2010.
You can't control such things. You have control over an alt text styling (in some cases), but some mail clients will do whatever they want with your html and inline styles.
The only solution is to make sure your mail can be read without images, like adding a text close to the image. Most of the time, my templates have both the image and the text close to one another.
Test in Gmail (or Yahoo or anything else) instead. Outlook won't show ALT text. Here is some reference to which clients support displaying ALT text
