When are Publisher e-mail attachments not readable?

[ASClaire]

I apologize upfront for not being computer-savvy.
If I compose something in Publisher and then send it as an e-mail
attachment, do recipients need to have Publisher on their computers in order
to open/view, or will having Word suffice?

If you are sending something like a newsletter for information and not as
something the recipient would need to open and edit... the best way to send
it would be to go File, Send E-mail, Send This Page As Message and then it
will appear in the body of the email message and not as an attachment.

We use this method for sending out our office newsletter and it quite
happily opens in Outlook, Hotmail, Yahoo etc and on computers that do not
have Publisher installed.

Good luck!
