need help w/ micrsoft publisher

[need help]

Hi, This is the first time I have used this newsgroup. I
created a 1 page newsletter in microsoft publisher. It
is too big to send thru email. It is 52 MB. But I don't
why. Is there anyway to save it to microsoft word? Or
is there a way to make this file smaller? Thanks so
much, any help would be great.

Reduce the physical DPI of your images.
Picture file formats in Publisher are stored internally in the file as
un-compressed Bitmapped images. Consequently a 100k JPG could end up as 2Mb
in the file.

Suggest you make a PDF file to overcome your issue.

Can you share with us the version of Publisher you are using? And what size
are the pictures in your newsletter?

1) Get a zipping utility. That will help, sometimes a tremendous amount.
IMHO one should NOT be sending unzipped attachemnts via email anyway.

2) image size should be coordinated with eventual output method and with
size used in the document.

one scanning resolution does not suit all (or even many) different
situations.

I want to send a Publisher file via email but not as an attachment. Can I send it within the body of the email? Other options than .pdf files....

So long as it is one page, yes. Just go to File > Send This Page as a
Message (when using Pub 2003), or Send to Mail Recipient (when using Pub
2002). You also must have the latest version of Outlook or Outlook Express
installed.

Which version of Outlook are you using?

Jenn, you need to have Outlook 2002 or newer to use this feature, or you
need to have Outlook Express installed and set as your default email client
(Start > Settings > Control Panel > Internet Tools > Programs and change
default email to Outlook Express). Also be sure you have installed the
latest version of Outlook Express and Internet Explorer versions 6.0. Anyone
with an HTML compliant newsreader will be able to read the email you send.

You have to BUY the newest version of Outlook, which requires Windows
XP/Windows 2000.

1) what is IMHO?
2) The whole reason I bought Outlook 2003 was for the purpose of sending
Publisher files as part of the body of an email rather than as an
attachment....like
they do from a Dept. Store mass emailing.
3) Please give me an example of your #2 where you are saying coordinate
image size with the eventual output method. Or simpler terms. (sorry!)

Did you reinstall Outlook like it asked? Go to Help > Detect and Repair in
Outlook.

1. IMHO: In My Humble Opinion

2. It can be done - but just a one page eamil.

 

[Mary Sauer]

The only way you are going to get a Publisher document to look like a department
store advertisement is to convert the document to HTML (web page). Then send it as
HTML. Be aware many people will not open HTML documents, some folks read all email as
plain text.

 

[Jenn S]

when i save it as HTML it won't show the pictures??? Please help. This is
really aggrevating.

 

[Mary Sauer]

Jenn, You are going to have to either send one page at a time, use a PDF or set it up
in Word, everyone just about has Word. You can use the send email, as a message, the
pictures will stay intact, but it will only send one page.

 

[Jenn S]

Brian (from MS) responded to me: So long as it is one page, yes. Just go to
File > Send This Page as a
Message (when using Pub 2003), or Send to Mail Recipient (when using Pub
2002). You also must have the latest version of Outlook or Outlook Express

~ I am sending a 1-page Publisher file. The whole reason I bought the
upgrade of Outlook....based on his response. I have Pub '02 and now Outlook
'03.
To your response, just now, I do not want to send a Word file b/c I can't
get the items to stay in the proper place (which is the reason I bought
Publisher). I can send it as a PDF, but then if people aren't familiar or
don't have Adobe Reader, they have to download a free version. I thought if
they could see a catchy picture or wordart, they would be more likely to look
at the "whole file." I want something that a basic computer user can
open/view but be impressed with. You think I should do the PDF?

 

[JoAnn Paules]

I thibk it's a safe bet to say that all new computers are pre-installed with
Adobe Reader. It's been that way for a good 5 years. I send a newsletter out
as a .pdf for that exact reason - I keep the formatting and my readers do
not have to fuss over what program to use.
