Re: e-mail

I don't know what senior citizens you are dealing with, but the ones I deal with
are very aware of their computer capabilities. Maybe one or two of your folks
may have problems with the Reader, but I bet the majority know exactly what to
do with a PDF file.

Thanks for the replies. Mike: you would loose your bet with the people I am
trying to do this for. However, I know most of the people we would be
emailing the newsletter to, do not have a PDF Reader program and have a hard
enough time using Outlook Express or other email programs. They are Senior
citizens that are not very well versed about using a computer. When asked if
they have Adobe reader, they ask: "What is that?, Why can't you just email it
to me?" I have met with many of them at times and explained how to retrive
files and send their emails. Some just can't grasp and remember or lack the
experience for the simplest of things when it regards using a computer.

Therefore, I want them to be able to open the email and read the newsletter
without having to bother with other chores. I work with a couple others who
agree and want to be able send it as a plain email...IF PPOSSIBLE. I have
tried several ways and seems that being the Publisher file is 11"X17", two
pages and there are many columns, it gets all split up when tryhing to send
via email.

I can drag and re-arrange things in Outlook Express, but it gets time
consumig and defeats the porpose for what we are trying to accomplish.

Thanks to everyone.

Papasan,

I'm willing to wager than 99 percent of people who use a computer on
more than a once a year basis have Acrobat Reader installed. They do
not have to "know how to use it." A pdf file will open in Acrobat - the
most you would have to explain, and this would be only to real 'newbies'
would be an instruction to double-click on the file.

when
they receive it, it is there and they can read it witout having to download

I am using Publisher 2007 and and new to using it. I have a newsletter
(11"X17" with some graphics) that I print and mail bi-monthly. Is there
any
way I can create the same file into an e-mail in Outlook or Outlook
Express?
Any Ideas or suggestions for using other programs instead of those
mentioned
are appreciated.

Papasan
