Newsletter Email Forwarding problem (re-visited)

[tony]

Pub 2003. I developed a newsletter to be sent via email as a message. (in
the body of the email, not an attachment)
Looks great in my company Outlook inbox, but when i forwarded it to a
co-worker there is a split in the newsletter. like two images were split up.
what is wrong? any advice on this?

Emails from Publisher are kind of quirky at best when they are longer than a
sheet of paper. Especially when you have graphics. Unless your email message
will fit on a single page, use a .pdf attachment instead.

Not to be a smarty pants, but i want the newsletter to actually appear in the
body, not as an attachment. Can i do that with a .pdf file? Is my only
option to send this newsletter as an attachemnt..i dont know what steps to
get the file as a pdf...

any advice?

If you only want the email to be a message, not an attachment, and you want
them to be able to print it, you're going to have to play with the length of
the document. My emails were approx 6" wide by 8" long. The first took about
an hour on the phone with another guild member to get everything to fit with
the header. I would tweak the length, email it to her, she would print it.
Then I'd print it and we'd compare results. Not fun at all.

PDFs require third party software. If you don't have Acrobat, don't want to
spend that kind of money, go to www.primopdf.com and download PrimoPDF. It's
free and easy to use.

PDFs are not part of the message tho - they are attachments.

Did you ever figure out how to get this to work? I am having the same problem.

When you send a newsletter in the body of an email you are changing from a print
project to a web project. The layout changes...

I am having the exact same issue. My boss wants me to send out my
newsletter, and it is longer than 1 page, as the email, NOT as an
attachement.

When we look at the test, some people can forward it, and it looks fine,
others, myself included try to forward it, or reply to it, and it jumbles up
the newsletter.

I need a solution that does not involve either shortening the newsletter or
sending it as an attachment.

Why is it okay for some (using the same OS and version of Outlook etc.) but
not for others.

I really need a response soon, as I have to send out the newsletter early
this week.

I need a solution that does not involve either shortening the
newsletter or sending it as an attachment.

There are many possible solutions:
a) Not sending out a newsletter. Then it can't be forwarded, and even if
someone finds a way to forward it, there's nothing to be jumbled up.
b) Use magic. I'm not sure where you can find it, but if you can, you'll be
well set. Try eBay
c) Replace your boss. Perhaps your new boss won't impose impossible
constraints on you.
d) Use the right tool for the job. Publisher is a layout application, and
as such has severe limitations on what can be done with email and web
content. Use a tool designed for creating mass mailings, and you will
probably have more joy.

Actually, it's time for my article about how to do this.

I'll post it tomorrow.

Don't do that. If I get hit by a bus tonight, you're not going to be able to
visit me in the hospital. You'll be the blue one in the corner.

If you got hit by a bus tonight, I'd feel blue anyway, regardless of whether
I were holding my breath or not.
