Re: Printing e-newsletter from Outlook

While I still think that the way you are formatting your "two page"
newsletter is probably causing the problem, if you managed to do it once
successfully, then perhaps run the Design Checker to see if it can find a
design error. Also you might want to read "Tips and troubleshooting for
sending a publication page as an e-mail message":
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HP010390591033.aspx

Personally I think that if you continue to try to force a print medium
format into a web medium format, you will continue to have some sort of
problems. For example if you look under the New Publications, Web sites and
E-mail, Email, Newsletter and bring up one of those templates, you will see
the default page width is only 5.818", vs your standard 8.5" wide format for
print documents. The templates use web friendly fonts and designs, which are
different than print. If you want print friendly newsletters, then use PDFs.
If you want html enabled email, then design accordingly. They are two
different mediums.

Thanks for the info David, I'll look it over. But, I have created a
two-page
newsletter in Publisher by changing the paper size on the "custom" paper.
From there, Publisher recognizes my document as one page. I have
successfully e-mailed it through the software and I have printed the
entire
e-newsletter e-mail from Outlook - on my original test.

However, now that I have place my actual copy into the e-newsletter
layout,
I have encountered my print issue. Has anyone had this same issue come up
and a work around? I'm wondering if it has something to do with the
graphics, file size etc.

You can't send two pages of a HTML newsletter via email...only one. Read
"Create and send e-mail publications using Publisher":
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010743381033.aspx

Then if you have not converted your newsletter to a webpage, do so, and
copy
the content from the second page and paste it below the content of the
first
page, delete the second page. Read: "Convert Your Publisher Newsletter
for
Use on the Web":
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/assistance/HA010563151033.aspx

Then go to Tools > Options > Web tab and uncheck "Rely on VML..." and
"Allow
PNG..." and under E-Mail options uncheck "Send entire...".

Then run the Design Checker under Tools, and fix any problems it finds.

Try it again.

Hey guys, this is an enternal e-newsletter...one of the benefits is
knowing
that our organization has one e-mails system (Outlook) and we are HTML
enabled. As for the PDF - that is not an option really, I need to be
able
to
create these fast and easy with customized information accessed through
hyperlinks.

Any advice around you experience with the printing issue would be
appreciated.

Email a PDF of the newsletter instead.
