I have an eNewsletter I had to code for one of our clients. After coding everything I sent a test through our Constant Contact account. I tested Gmail, Yahoo & Mac Mail and they work fine. When I send it to an Outlook 2013 email it doesn't display correctly. I am using nested tables. The particular spot giving a problem is the table with id="visa". I've also attached a screen shot of how it looks.
When I open the email in Outlook 2013 and click Actions --> edit message I right click the Visa area and choose Table Properties. I notice the preferred width box is black but not checked. If I go to the properties of the top left cell where it says "Transfer Your Balance And.. " and click the Preferred Width box then everything lines up correctly with no space.
Why isn't Outlook 2013 accepting the widths I give in my HTML? What can I do to make this automatic so Outlook recipients will see the newsletter correctly.
Here is my code:

This Season</strong></p>
<p style="margin:5px 0 0 15px; line-height:15px;">As the year starts winding down,<br />
here are some smart moves to make<br />
with your money to maximize your<br />
earnings and save through the<br />
winter.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0 0 15px; color:#2063af; font-size:14px;"><strong>Give Yourself A Checkup</strong></p>
<p style="margin:5px 0 0 15px; line-height:15px;">Use a free online budgeting and<br />
money management tool, like the<br />
resources on our<a href="http://www.rbfcu.coop/services/financial-services/members-financial-services.html" target="_blank"> Members Financial<br />
Services Page</a> or the one on Mint.<br />
com to make it easy, or review<br />
your credit union statements and<br />
check for areas where you may be<br />
overspending. Also, review your<br />
health care coverage and see if you<br />
can save if you change to a different<br />
plan during open enrollment.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0 0 15px; color:#2063af; font-size:14px;"><strong>Prepare For Holiday Spending</strong></p>
<p style="margin:5px 0 0 15px; line-height:15px;">To avoid one massive bill at the end<br />
of the year, start shopping now and<br />
finish before things get crazy. Also,<br />
paying off your credit card bills every<br />
month will help you save on interest<br />
charges.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0 0 15px; color:#2063af; font-size:14px;"><strong>Put More Into<br />
Retirement Accounts</strong></p>
<p style="margin:5px 0 0 15px; line-height:15px;">Contribute the maximum amount<br />
possible to prepare for the future.</p>
<p style="margin:10px 0 0 15px; color:#2063af; font-size:14px;"><strong>Weatherproof Your Home</strong></p>
<p style="margin:5px 0 0 15px; line-height:15px;">Prepare your home for colder<br />
weather by caulking windows,<br />
weatherstripping doors, making<br />
sure you have enough insulation<br />
and getting a tune-up on your<br />
heating unit. It could save you tons<br />
in heating costs.</p>
