Re: Long publisher page (33") sent as email and problem w/ MS2007 Outl

Beverly,

There are things you can do, design, layout etc. in a print document that
chokes Publisher when it tries to convert to HTML. Sometimes large gaps can
be a result of trying to overlap images, trying to use word wrap, etc. I
would study your layout right before the gap for the solution. Something you
are doing there is causing the gap. You may have to deconstruct or pull
design elements into the scratch area and test to find what you are doing
that is creating the gap. There is also the possibility that the problem is
in the content just below the gap, but that is less likely.

You can send a newsletter as the body of your email in HTML format, or as an
image. If you go to Tools > Options > Web tab you have the option of sending
as a JPG. The biggest problem with sending as an image is the file size can
be huge. Secondarily, when you convert to an image the text will tend to
blur. And for what its worth, in Pub 2007 any inserted hyperlinks will
survive the conversion to an image. You don't need to buy additional
software or use anything but Publisher, contrary to the advice given in the
linked workaround.

With that said, I tend to agree with most people in this group that sending
as an attached PDF is the best way to go. And in Pub 2007 you can use the
PDF add in and produce PDFs that will preserve your hyperlinks. I think
using a PDF is the best way especially when you are sending a document
formatted for print as you are doing. If you open one of the email formatted
newsletter templates in 2007, you will notice the width is 5.818 inches
wide, or about 560 pixels wide...not 8.5 inches. Have you ever received a
professionally designed email that is 8.5 inches wide? IMHO if you want to
send as a message in either HTML or image format, you should work within the
space suggested in the email formatted templates, and link to most of your
content where you have it posted on your website...that's what the "more
details" in the templates is for. If you want to send a print formatted 4
page newsletter, then send as an attached PDF, or you will just continue to
have problems, even if you fix your current issue. If you want to send as a
message in either HTML or image format, then design your publication with
that in mind and start with the email formatted newsletter templates.

I have a Publisher 2007 newsletter that is 8.5x33". I do the "send as
message" option. The enewsletter looks fine in my web-based email reader
(NetZero). However, in Outlook, it chops the newsletter in two. The
first
~17" are fine, then a large white gap (~10"), then the rest of the
newsletter. Is this a Publisher or Outlook problem. Is there a fix for
long
newsletters?

I tried "select all" and "paste" into Word, but that only lets you change
page length to 22".

I also tried "select all" and "paste" into a new message in Outlook and it
also cuts off at 22".
