Cause

HTML in the offer letter source is causing Internet Explorer to generate the offer letter incorrectly.

Resolution

In Internet Explorer:

  1. Go to Admin Center -> Manage Offer Letter Templates and edit the offer letter template.
  2. In the offer letter template, edit the Source. You should see " around the font family name, for example,  "times new roman". The " will show as ' in both Fire Fox and Google Chrome.
  3. Removing " from the source in the offer letter template will fix the issue and will not effect the offer letter formatting.

Copying the offer letter pasting it back using the "Paste as Plain Text" option will also fix the issue however it could effect the offer letters format.
