html formatting

[Sharnie]

i used to create emails using Frontpage for my business and they need to be
in html format. Now I have 2007 and am using Publisher and have been trying
for hours to create a email in html format and can't. Does anyone know how to
change it to html? I tried the publish as web page but it is all over the
page and my pictures don't work.

Create and send e-mail publications by using Publisher

Thanks but it gets sent through my store software online not through outlook
so it has to be in html not in PDF etc. I have tried everything on that page.

any other ideas? I want Frontpage back.

Sharnie,

any other ideas?

Yeah, don't send it as html. Many people have html turned off in their
e-mail program. Or they get it via a cell phone or other gizmo.

What is wrong with putting a simple link in your e-mail message giving a
brief idea why your message is so very important and to click here to
see it?

The ONLY time (IMO) it is appropriate to send a page as html is when
someone has opted into a mailing list and asks to receive it that way.

Publisher is not a suitable upgrade from FrontPage. FrontPage's
replacement products are SharePoint Designer and Expression Web. Unless
you're developing for a SharePoint Server, the appropriate upgrade path
is to Expression Web.
