I am using Publisher 2007 and and new to using it. I have a newsletter
(11"X17" with some graphics) that I print and mail bi-monthly. Is there any way I can create the same file into an e-mail in Outlook or Outlook Express? Any Ideas or suggestions for using other programs instead of those mentioned are appreciated. Papasan

I don't want to send as a PDF attachment. Most I would send it to don't have
a PDF reader or would not know how to use it. I want it in the email, so when they receive it, it is there and they can read it witout having to download or link to another program; if possible.

If you think folks don't have the reader, even less folks will have HTML email
enabled.

Papasan,
I'm willing to wager than 99 percent of people who use a computer on more than a once a year basis have Acrobat Reader installed. They do not have to "know how to use it." A pdf file will open in Acrobat - the most you would have to explain, and this would be only to real 'newbies' would be an instruction to double-click on the file.

Thanks for the replies. Mike: you would loose your bet with the people I am
trying to do this for. However, I know most of the people we would be emailing the newsletter to, do not have a PDF Reader program and have a hard enough time using Outlook Express or other email programs. They are Senior citizens that are not very well versed about using a computer. When asked if they have Adobe reader, they ask: "What is that?, Why can't you just email it to me?" I have met with many of them at times and explained how to retrive files and send their emails. Some just can't grasp and remember or lack the experience for the simplest of things when it regards using a computer. Therefore, I want them to be able to open the email and read the newsletter without having to bother with other chores. I work with a couple others who agree and want to be able send it as a plain email...IF PPOSSIBLE. I have tried several ways and seems that being the Publisher file is 11"X17", two pages and there are many columns, it gets all split up when tryhing to send via email. I can drag and re-arrange things in Outlook Express, but it gets time consumig and defeats the porpose for what we are trying to accomplish. Thanks to everyone.

I don't know what senior citizens you are dealing with, but the ones I deal with
are very aware of their computer capabilities. Maybe one or two of your folks may have problems with the Reader, but I bet the majority know exactly what to do with a PDF file. -- Mary Sauer MSFT MVP http://office.microsoft.com/ http://msauer.mvps.org/ news://msnews.microsoft.com "Papasan" wrote in message ...

I would guess that only about 10% of your students wouldn't really understand and more than likely they really want to learn. Depends on the patience, ability, and understanding of the teaching methods. I am still on a learning curve (self taught) and I am 73yrs, perhaps not quite as old as your students:-). Give some credence to your students, they can't all be stupid, or are they, in your neck of the woods? MoMo

Papasan,
I know many, many senior citizens, some 100 years old. They know how to use a computer. There's nothing mystic about it. Reader is installed on computers when they arrive from the electronics store. Unless the person has installed Linux, it's there for them to use. If they are as uneducated as you suggest (which I find hard to believe) you can always put instructions in the e-mail. Double click on the attachment to open it. If that is too complicated for them, put a hyperlink to the pdf in your e-mail and tell them to click on the link. If they cannot do that, they won't be able to open their e-mail program so you won't have to worry. Mike Papasan wrote: Thanks for the replies.

They are Senior citizens that are not very well versed about using a computer. Senior citizens? What's that got to do with it? I'm a senior citizen and I've been one for at least the last eight years and I know how to use a computer. My husband is also a senior citizen and he's a Microsft Visual Basic MVP. We're not all stupid you know! If you really do insist on wanting to include this document of yours actually in the body of the email (as it appears you want to do) then why not save each page from Publisher as a .jpg or better still a Windows metafile (.wmf) and insert them into the body of the email using the standard Insert / Picture menu (if you're using Outlook Express, as it appears you are). It certainly is not by any means the best way to do it, and it will require your recipient to scroll around heavily in the email in order to see it, and she won't be able to see it anyway if she has set her system to read messages in plain text, as many people do, but it is better than nothing if you really do insist on not wanting to send an attachment. And she would have a devil of a job printing it. Do you know how to create these jpegs and wmfs from Publisher, and do you know how to insert them into the body of an email? If not then post back and one of us "oldies" will show you how to do it! MoMo
