Inserting a published HTML in Outlook e-mail body

Hi there,

I have successfully used Indesign Publish online to publish a document as an HTML

I now want to insert that HTML in the body of an outlook e-mail.
How do I save the HTML to my computer and embed it in my e-mail ?

Thanks.

    i use the macro described here:

    How to insert HTML source code to Outlook emails

    but I write my own HTML specifically for outlook. as others said, it's unlikely that HTML straight out of indesign will be suitable.

    As Dan states Publish Online documents are hosted on Adobe's severs and can't be be accessed in the way you describe. You can, of course, add a link to it in your email. Email HTML documents are quite complex to produce and most people use something like MailChimp for this purpose.

    HTML emails must be coded in very a specific way so they display properly. (They have more restrictions/glitches than a normal webpage.) InDesign's publish online is not meant to be used in HTML email. Even if you could download the HTML, it would not be suitable for emails (it was meant for display in a web browser, not email). InDesign is not an appropriate app for creating code for HTML emails.

    I was starting to come to that conclusion. Thanks
