Assuming that you have Pub 2003, then you can send it as a html formatted
email, but Publisher is set up to only send one page. You will need to
convert your two pages into one, which is not that hard.
First go to File > Convert to web page. You will see a dialogue box that
will allow you to save a copy of the print publication if you want. > Next
You will then get the option of adding a navigation bar. In this case choose
no. > Finish.
Then if you want the document sent as HTML vs. as an image, go to Tools >
Options > Web Tab, and unselect "Send entire publication page as a single
JPG...". In this way your text will be more crisp and clear and can be
copied, your hyperlinks will survive, and your overall file size will be
much smaller and easier to email. In the one test I did using a letter
template in Pub, the file size jumped from 79 KB to 212 KB. If you have a
lot of images in your publication, you might optimize them before you insert
them or at least use the Compress images function prior to sending to reduce
the file size further.
You will notice that your page is much longer than it used to be, as the
default length for a web page is 48", or about 4600 pixels. Go to page 2 of
your document. Click anywhere on the page, and "Ctrl + A" to select all the
elements on your page (or draw a box around all the elements). Scroll to the
bottom of the last element on your page, and click the "two box" grouping
icon which will group together all the elements on your page. Then right
click > Copy.
Then go back to your first page, and paste. Move the group of elements
around until they are lined up, or use the Arrange functions.
Then also assuming that you are using a newer version of Outlook or Outlook
Express, go to File > Send Email > Send this page as a message. You will
then see the same heading appear above the page as you would see in Outlook
or OE, so fill out the fields as you would normally, and Send. The page that
will be sent will be only as long as the last element on your page and will
print as any other message.
One caveat, this method requires the recipient to be able to read html
formatted mail, and see pictures.
