need help w/ micrsoft publisher

Hi, This is the first time I have used this newsgroup. I
created a 1 page newsletter in microsoft publisher. It
is too big to send thru email. It is 52 MB. But I don't
why. Is there anyway to save it to microsoft word? Or
is there a way to make this file smaller? Thanks so
much, any help would be great.

Reduce the physical DPI of your images.
Picture file formats in Publisher are stored internally in the file as
un-compressed Bitmapped images. Consequently a 100k JPG could end up as 2Mb
in the file.

Suggest you make a PDF file to overcome your issue.

Can you share with us the version of Publisher you are using? And what size
are the pictures in your newsletter?

1) Get a zipping utility. That will help, sometimes a tremendous amount.
IMHO one should NOT be sending unzipped attachemnts via email anyway.

2) image size should be coordinated with eventual output method and with
size used in the document.

one scanning resolution does not suit all (or even many) different
situations.

I want to send a Publisher file via email but not as an attachment. Can I send it within the body of the email? Other options than .pdf files....

So long as it is one page, yes. Just go to File Send This Page as a
Message (when using Pub 2003), or Send to Mail Recipient (when using Pub
2002). You also must have the latest version of Outlook or Outlook Express
installed.

Brian, When I'm in a 1-page Publisher '02 file and select File, Send to...it
only allows me to choose mail recipient as attachment. There is no option for
just mail recipient (as in sending it as a message). Why is this?

Also, is the newest version of Outlook in a free downloadable format or do I
have to purchase it? And, will anyone be able to view the publisher
file...even if they don't have publisher?
