JoAnne, I completely empathize! I just took over the newsletter with the
first edition out last month. When I took over my org had missed their fall
edition and I didn't even bother to ask for files - just started from
scratch. I literally had two weeks to pull it all together since people were
so late in getting their articles to me.

Our next newsletter will come out in April so I'm thinking I have some time
(ha-ha) to play with Publisher.

As for the thorazine, a possible side effect is involuntary muscle spasms
and twitches in the face and body...if you take it, I'll not be sure if that
will be caused by the drug or your newsletter work...LOL!!

take care,
karen

I've been doing our region newsletter for about 4 yrs now. This September I
should be doing another issue but I will be up to my ears and then some in a
student handbook for the same organization (national seminar). My region
director said she's going to find someone to do that issue in my place. She
doesn't understand why I can't just turn over my files so that someone else
can do it and won't have to start from scratch. (I don't know too many
others in my organization who own Publisher and fewer who actually use it!)
She asked me what I did when I took over. I told her I started from scratch.
All I had were paper copies. I may have had a few floppies of files from
Print Master or something like that. shudder! Doesn't help if you don't
have Print Master.

Any chance you have some thorazine you'll give me? I won't need it until
September.

JoAnn...LOL!

I'm a bit the same - I neglected to mention that I will be doing one of
the
newsletters (by MYSELF!) and there's another group that does the other
newsletter.

I'm been creating my newslettter on Word (talk about cringe), and the
other
group have been using InDesign which cost them $1,000. They started this
issue by telling me "we have problems with only having the software on one
computer,
so that no one but the editor can make any changes." Good to know that
others don't have control issues (=

Thx a mint for clarifying.

If it's on one computer and more than one person uses that computer,
you're
fine. Of course the idea of more than one person working on one
newsletter
makes me cringe.


(Have I ever mentioned that I have a bit of a control issue?)

Thx for your complete reply Chuck.

John, I'm checking out the VLP pages now so thx a mint for the link to
that
too.

One last question, if we go with purchasing a single copy of Pub 2003
we
would install it on a computer that volunteers share. So would it be
okay
if
multiple people used the same copy on that one computer? (Some of us
work
on
the same newsletter, and there are two newsletters.)

thx again,
karen

I'm thinking of getting Publisher and noticed that the
trial evaluation pkg says it can be installed on up to
four systems. Is that true for the full pkg (not the
trial version)?

I'm asking as the pkg is for a non-profit (I'm a
volunteer) and was wondering:
1. how many systems can the full pkg be installed on?
2. is there a corporate/non-profit version that allows
for multilple installs? Or price discount?

Sorry if this is a "stupid question" but the trial
verbiage has me confused.

Appreciate any feedback.
