One "work around" is to copy from Word to notpad and then copy again to Constant Contact. Because MS Outlook uses MS Word to display an email, everything is broken into pages and that gives you the same grief that inserting a photo into a word document does. The best answer for that is to send yourself a lot of proofs to be sure your photo is in the right position. Resizing the photo and adding or decreasing padding hleps too. Just some thoughts.

Thank you Jarrad, However, I found that when you "remove" someone you have only two choices: "Remove them from just this list" or "Remove them from all lists." So, I must remove them from "all lists" and then upload them back to the original master list as well as the A or B list from which I removed them. Thank you for your help. It is convoluted but it works!

Whew! I'm getting my head around it. Create two blank lists: A and B. Make a copy (merge) of the original master list. Populate Lists A and B and export them. Then "Remove" them (which leaves the original master and the merged copy master untouched?) ....can you call me? Thanks!

Hi Jarrad, I did just that but my client wants me to make two lists n=250 from 28,000 subscribers. Then he wants me to do an A/B test on those two lists. In 12 hours he wants to decide which copy proved better. Then he wants to use that format to send to the whole population. How do I pull two lists of 250 each without sending them an email twice? ...once with the test and once when we do the full send?

I want to start testing subject lines. I have a list of 24,000 subscribers about 18% open all the time. How do I create the list for the A:B test?

Riis, what does that do for the email that is already sent?

You can open the block, view the html (see the little icon in the upper right corner) select all and delete. That wipes out the block's formatting. Then go back to the normal edit view and type or paste in your copy and finally format it. I've seen extra hard returns show up after I have duplicated a block. So I go to the text after the extra hard return and backspace until I have gone past it. Then I can retype the missing copy. Normally it is just a few words. Be sure NOT to copy streight from a Word Document into an information block. Word will put formatting on your copy that will screw up the CC html editor. Copy first to "Note Pad" or some other text editor, and the copy and past from there. Does this help?
