Help with Publisher 2003

[Mike]

I currently have a trial version of Publisher 2003 and I am trying to email
a two page newsletter. I do not want it as an attachment but in the email.
Currently, Publisher 2003 only allows to email current page. Is there a way
around this?

Thanks

Publisher only supports emailing the current page of a publication as the
body of an email.
If you email as a Web Archive (MHT), you can email the entire publication
(you will need to ensure that you place hyperlinks to link between the
pages, otherwise only the first page will be accessible)

Damn buggy *.mht.

Will it be in the body of the email if I send it as a mht file?

Thanks

No.
How exactly did you think you would get multiple pages in one email body
anyway, out of interest?

Everytime I read a post like this, I'm grateful for Acrobat. Those
.pdf files are such a god-send. No platform issues, no software
availability concerns, layout looks the same to everyone - Thank you
Adobe.

IIRC, Adobe didn't invent PDF. Otherwise, we wouldn't have loads of other
cheap PDF creators.

I figured out a way around it. I just made a custom page the size of two
pages and then copied my second page into the first page and it works great.
Now I have one more question. Why doesn't Publisher 2003 work with Outlook
2002? It will only let me send an email as an attachment! However, if I
use Outlook Express 6 as my default email client then it lets me email the
page in the body of the email. I would use something other than publisher
to create these emails however Marketing who creates these newsletters only
understands how to use publisher.

Thanks

For an email newsletter, Publisher 2003 does not work very well. When you
send it - the email is huge. I took all of the images and pointed them to
our webserver so it is not the images files that is making the file huge.
Other than creating a HTML file what other programs are out there to create
an email newsletter?

Thanks

Err, Eddie, just think about the logic of that for a minute...IBM 'invented'
the first 'proper' PC, but do only they manufacture them? Ford built the
first commercial automobile - but my father drives a BMW. OK, so they may be
pretty poor analogies, but I hope you understand my meaning.

Somehow I didn't think I would. I just didn't think it was like Adobe to
release something like that so other people can make money from it, when
they could keep it proprietory and keep all the cash for themselves.
/me shrugs, and tries to work on his memory skills

MS assistance provides some insight here:

at the bottom of the article is a table of potential problems and their solutions. The first one of these is “Text is converted into an imageâ€. I found this helpful.
