Newsletter in Publisher cannot be opened

Hi -

I recently decided to try Publisher to create a newsletter for my staff. We
were doing these in Word but it didn't look professional. I was able to
create a very professional looking newsletter. My problem lies in the fact
that when I sent it, many of our sites do not have Publisher and cannot open
the document. The I went on Microsoft Office for help to which it indicated
that I could save the document as a Microsoft Document Imaging File. That
worked fine until I went to send it and my email wouldn't send it.

I could use any advise possible at this point as I have a newsletter that is
just sitting there.

thanks,

Most folks found that the best format to send newsletters is pdf. If you
don't have a pdf converting program, here are three.

Free: Primopdf.exe www.primopdf.com
Modest cost: PDF-XChange.exe excellent.
http://www.docu-track.com/downloads/users/
Madon!! Acrobat
http://store.adobe.com/store/product...rcecode=110400

I use PDF-XChange for three reasons; modest cost, creates the smallest pdf
files of any pdf creating program and e-mail addresses and urls are active
when reading a pdf file on your computer.

You're going to have to be more specific as none of us have crystal balls.
What does "my email wouldn't send it" mean? Any errors? If so, please quote
them verbatim.

One other thing, on a point of grammar, 'advise' is a verb. It is *NOT* as
many of you Yanks appear to believe, one of these interchangeable things like
'practice' and 'practise' and 'licence' and 'license'. The noun (which is
what you're needing) is 'advice'. They are *NOT* interchangeable. The same
applies to 'devise' and 'device'.

I would suggest, as is often done here, that you download PrimoPDF and
convert.

Thaks for the grammar lesson, however that error was not of choice but
rather quick typing and actually I am not a "yank". Thanks!

Thanks Don. I am going to try that. I was able to speak with a colleague at
the University who suggested the same. I appreciate your quick reply. Having
spent weeks working on this only to have my staff reply that they could not
open it, frankly was quite discouraging. I believe the PDF format is the
solution I need.

Val40,

If you and your colleagues are looking for a small, quick, free, pdf reader
with an extra feature, give a look at PDF Reader by Foxit.
