I have been digging all over and experimenting with different attributes, but I am still no closer to getting Outlook (v2005) to respect <td> cell height. I have a simple table being used through Gravity forms in Wordpress which is handling all the overhead. The <td> is set o have the mso-line-height-rule line height and font size as mentioned several times elsewhere, but comes out as below.
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="80px" width="80" style="border-collapse: collapse; mso-table-lspace: 0pt; mso-table-rspace: 0pt;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="background-color: red; height: 30px; font-size: 30px; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; line-height: 30px; padding: 0 !important; margin: 0 !important;" height="30">
Hello
</td>
</tr>
<tbody>
</table>
If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated.

I have an email template with different block background colors, and because of this the colors are bleeding and creating lines between the blocks
I tried all the solutions I found and nothing worked, and after hours of digging I think the problem is that the nested tables are slightly shorter than their parent tables
here you can see the problem and what I mean by slightly shorter (the orange is showing and the white is within it, if it was the same height no orange will be showing):
and this is the code for one of the blocks:
<div>
<table
align="center"
border="0"
cellpadding="0"
cellspacing="0"
style="margin: 0; padding: 0; background:{$cordial-variable}; border-collapse: collapse;"
bgcolor="{$cordial-variable}"
width="100%"
>
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<table
width="700"
bgcolor="#fcfcfc"
border="0"
cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0"
style="
mso-table-rspace: 0pt;
mso-table-lspace: 0pt;
border-collapse: collapse;
border: 0;
width: 100%;
height: auto;
padding: 0;
"
>
<tr>
<td align="center" valign="top">
<div>
<table
width="600"
border="0"
cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0"
style="
mso-table-rspace: 0pt;
mso-table-lspace: 0pt;
border-collapse: collapse;
border: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 80%;
height: auto;
"
>
<tr>
<td style="35px" height="35"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
the things I tried: setting background color for all tables and tds, setting valign for all trs, changing the heights to even values instead of odd ones, setting the images with 0 line-height and font-size, setting the height to 100% instead of auto.
Any further suggestions?
To get a block a specific height, cross email compatible, you need only this:
<tr>
<td style="padding:35px 0 0 0;font-size:0;line-height: 0;"> </td>
</tr>
Note the which you don't have--some email clients will add that in and then use a default font-size or line-height on it.
The first <table> you have is fine: cellpadding, cellspacing and border are zeroed and that should be enough.
<div>s are not needed.
I've tried creating an email signature but whenever I paste it into outlook the padding for the bottom of the logo gets removed? I also tried adding margin instead but it still got deleted? The only way is to add a space in manually after, but I'm sure this is not a good practice?
Thanks
<div>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" role="presentation" style="font-size: 0px;">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;"><div style="margin-right: 10px; width: 150px; border-radius: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
<img src="https://s3.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/mysigmail/upload/2019-04-29-hzc85zi6onw.png" alt="avatar" style="width: 150px; border-radius: 0px;">
</div>
Apply the padding to the parent td cell instead of the div
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" role="presentation">
<tr>
<td style="padding: 0 0 10px 0;">
** content **
</td>
</tr>
</table>
As a heads up:
Outlook 2013-2019 do not work with padding-top
apply the image width to the image. Outlook will ignore the width in style
border-radius does not work with Outlook
Good luck.
In a nutshell I'm using exact target content builder, I uploaded the code into litmus, and of course Outlook 07,10,13 isn't recognizing width 100%. I have attached a screen shot as well as the snippet please assist.
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"><tr><td align="center"><img data-assetid="35955" src="http://image.email-nyaaa.com/lib/fe661570736c04747414/m/3/0edcfa8c-25ad-4b12-8d69-501bde9332ef.jpg" alt="Grocery Discounts" height="45" width="900" style="height:45px;width:900px;display: block;padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; text-align: center;"></td></tr></table>
Stack overflow wouldnt allow me to paste the code as well.The offending line was 296. You or the platform had placed a 10px padding around the two column block (extra virgin & long grain one). Once you remove it then it works.
Snippet:

You can replace that code on your template or copy the code from fiddle that is in the comment.
Here is the result of the fix.
Cheers
Outlook doesn't really like width="100%" and it doesn't like inline CSS. So set your width on the image to width="920" and in style, keep the width:100%; which other browsers will use.
This is the table as an example:
<table width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td align="center">
<img data-assetid="35864" src="http://image.email-nyaaa.com/lib/fe661570736c04747414/m/3/b1be6e76-4a9f-4e7a-89cc-5adf22373d62.jpg" alt="View your current grocery savings" height="auto" width="920" style="height:auto;width:100%;display: block;padding-top: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; text-align: center;">
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
I should add that your hero image is 900 pixels, which is 100 pixels wider than some email clients like Outlook and Gmail really support. Keep that in mind if you're having issues with other email clients.
You should look at your emails on an iPhone because it's a mess. The same with AOL. In every desktop email client, you have alignment issues with the Discounts Rewards banner.
Good luck.
My code does work properly in Outlook 15.33 for Mac. Buttons take the height and width of the linked text in the Windows version of Outlook. I have tried setting the buttons as tags and tags, but I have the same formatting issues on the Windows version of Outlook.

Your designing for email, not for the Web. Outlook non-Mac does not fully support the CSS attributes flex or padding.
Outlook is a major pain to get buttons to display correctly. I'd give you more advice, but you didn't post your existing code which makes it hard to make suggestions on how to offer better advice to fix your issues.
Good luck.
Give this method a try. I found it to work on all email clients that i know off. You will need to change the background color of the td, background color of the anchor tag, stroke color and the width of the button.

Let me know if this helps.
Content in a responsive email template needs to appear centred in Thunderbird. The template involves a couple of tables nested inside a main table. Content centers in one of the tables, but not in the others and I can't understand why. Here's what it looks like:
<style>
body {
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}
.bodycontainer{
max-width: 600px;
padding: 15px 5px 15px 5px;
display:block;
line-height: 140%;
color: #34282C;
}
</style>
<body>
<table width="100%" style="table-layout: fixed; margin: 0 auto;">
<tr>
<td align="center">
<table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"
style="padding: 5px 0; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px; color: #2e5a67; width: auto !important;
table-layout: fixed; margin: 0 auto;">
<tr>
<!-- This content will center -->
<td align="center"><a target="_blank" href=""
style="font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px; color: #999; text-decoration: none;">
This content will center</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="bodyContainer" cellspacing="0" border="0"
align="center" width="600" style="max-width: 600px; table-layout:
fixed; margin: 0 auto;">
<tr>
<!-- This content WILL NOT center -->
<td align="center" style="padding:15px 0px 15px;"><a href="">
<img width="125" src=""
alt="This image will NOT center" border="0"></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="bodyContainer" cellspacing="0" border="0"
align="center" width="600" style="padding-top: 15px;
max-width: 600px; table-layout: fixed; margin: 0 auto;">
<tr>
<!-- This content will center -->
<td class="" align="center" style="padding:10px 0 20px;">
<a href=""
target="_blank"><img src=""
alt="This image will center" width="80"
border="0"></a></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>

The issue is the "Display:Block" in your head stylesheet. Display block will force the element to be a block element. Block elements width is based on the child content's size and also defaults to a sort of 'float:left' and there is no easy way to overwrite this. Your best bet is to remove this from the stylesheet.
If you need to include display:block inside your email template(e.g. sliced images, background colors, etc), I would use it sparingly and keep in mind that the element you place it on will be changed as stated above.
