Send HTML email in Outlook 2016

I have created an HTML page with modified from a template I got.... I want to send as a HTML based newsletter in Outlook 2016.

However the guides I see as "insert as text" do not apply to Outlook 2016 as there is no dropdown for inserting files for that in the 2016 version.

I am wondering how I go about being able to send this HTML email?

The "insert as text" option is still available in Outlook 2016, but you have to un-hide the old "Attach File" button. Use that instead of the new "Attach File..." button on the ribbon.

From :

1. File-> Options-> Quick Access Toolbar
2. Set the “Choose commands from” dropdown list to: All Commands.
3. Select the “Attach File” command.
   • Make sure you do not select the “Attach File…” command as that is the new menu button.
4. Press the "Add > > " button.
5. Press OK to close the Options dialog and return to Outlook.

Once you have the old "Attach File" button back:

1. Click the "Attach file" button in your Quick Access toolbar
2. Select your file ending in .html
3. Select "Insert as Text."

Another program you could use is ContactMonkey. It's an add-in for Outlook and allows you to insert and send fully responsive HTML email templates straight from Outlook itself. It's a pretty new feature to the tool and I think it will solve the exact issue you're having! It's perfect for sending newsletters from Outlook without having to use another email provider, it also tracks everything too!
