Even on Linux, there'll be some kind of PDF viewer (and it's installed
on a clean OS install).

============================
If you truly wish to make it as simple
as possible...send a text only e-mail
message.

You don't need to know how to use
Adobe Reader...you just double click
the .pdf file and it opens.

Try this...

Download and install the following free PDF Creator.

PrimoPDF
http://www.primopdf.com/

With your new program installed...open your project
in Publisher and go to...File / Print.

On your Print screen...open the drop window and
select PrimoPDF as your printer.

Click...OK...now you will see the PrimoPDF screen
and you can browse to a save folder.

When you click...OK..your .pdf file will be created
in your save folder.

The resulting .pdf file can be viewed on any computer
that has the free Adobe Reader installed.

Then you'd best teach them.

Or deal with the fact that your fonts, etc. might not translate on
their system.

Thanks for the replies. Mike: you would loose your bet with the people I am

It's "lose", not loose.

Maybe you are part of the problem

go momo go :-)

I have this problem too...I don't want people to have to open a .pdf
attachment. For my purposes, it is marketing my business and I feel many
more people would show interest if it was right in front of them rather than
having to open an attachment. Believe me, publishing it as a .pdf attachment
would be much easier so I would do it if I thought it would be the best thing
for my purposes.

I am trying to use Publisher to send an email...I've followed the
instructions on the MS site, but I do not get the "send as message" option, I
only get the "send as attachment" option in the file - send as email menu.
The instructions on MS say that you will not get the "send as message" option
if it's a 1-page document, so I made the document 2 pages and still only have
the "send as attachment" option.

If anyone can help, please do!

First - You can't do a two page email letter.

Second - Assuming you are using Outlook or Outlook Express for your email
program, Publisher has to be the same version or older (for example, Pub
2000 and Outlook 2002).

Third - If people have their email set to read plain text, nothing you do
can override that setting.

I keep preaching the best way is to simply put a link to your page in
your e-mail message. It seems lots of people want to "do it their way."
Okay, http://www.valleycat.net/lookatthis.html will help solve your problem.

(It's easier to create a page and post a link than type everything over
and over!)

Here's one way of sending a newsletter within the email body using SnagIt, a
JoAnne find.

Create a single page Pub file of any length.

Use SnagIt to scroll picture taking and send by using File, e-mail.

http://www.softwarecasa.com/pprod/21...FQ7cSQod3zIq7w

(There is a free upgrade to version 8.2 for present users)

But I still prefer a pdf attachment. :-)
