Problems editing marketing email - formatting goes awry

[iain]

Hi

I'm trying to create a marketing email in oncord for the first time in a couple of years.

For some reason the platform will not let me delete text without stuffing up the formatting of some of the adjacent text.

You can see what is happening in the two images I've attached. When I try to delete the text after the "read more..." link, it shifts the "read more..." text and the text following that to be alongside each other. I'd be grateful for any suggestions on how to resolve this.

Thanks

Hi @iain

I just checked your site and it looks like you got your email campaign sent off.

I think what was happening there is you've pasted in a table from an email signature in Outlook or another system.
That table has no borders so it is somewhat 'invisible'. When you are pressing Delete it is shifting the table to be on the same line as the "Read More" text.

A little tip - you can press Control + Shift + V in Chrome to "Paste as Text". This ensures that any tables and other formatting elements are removed when you paste.
