You can't change the way your readers get their mail, regardless of the
program you use. Sending a .pdf file is the best way to "control" the way
the end product looks for your readers.

I've seen this response elsewhere which is why I particularly drew
attention
in my original query to the fact that I do NOT want to send as a pdf file.

This is a personalised mailing, which MS Publisher 2007 allows for using a
mailmerge facility which both MS Publisher 2007 and Office 2007 with
Business
Contact Manager allows for.

I have created a pdf file of the newsletter which will also be available
on
my website, but this does not get round the personalised email
requirement.

Is it actually the case that MS Publisher will not do what I want it to
do?

Thanks again, in anticipation.

I have created a newsletter in MS Publisher 2007 for distribution via
email,
using Outlook 2007 with Business Contact Manager. I intend the
newsletter
to
be in the message body of the email and for it to be personalised (and
have
worked out how to achieve that in MS Publisher and Business Contacts
Manager). The newsletter will be 'launched' using the 'Create a
Marketing
Campaign' button in MS Publisher. I do not want this to go out as a
pdf
file.

All looks good on screen, when I preview the newsletter (and it opens
in
my
browser, IE8), it looks perfect!

However, when I sent a test newsletter to myself, when it appears in
the
sent box, some of the formatting is lost, (eg text spills below where I
designed it to be and some images have corners missing, etc). It
appears
with similar formatting problems when it arrives in my inbox.

When I send test newsletters to trusted others, some see the newsletter
appearing perfectly and others do not, and there seems to be no
consistent
reason - some view it fine using Outlook, others don't; some view it
fine
using web-based mail, such as hotmail and google, others don't.

One person has reported that as well as receiving the newsletter in the
message, they also received a sizeable number of file attachments (ie
one
for
each image / graphic / box outline, etc).

Am I missing something in the settings / options for Publisher and / or
Outlook that will enable me to send the newsletter in the body of the
message
without all the attachments going with it and with greater confidence
that
the formatting issues outlined above will not occur?

Also, when I receive newsletters, I am always given the chance to
'click
here' to view in my web browser. How can I provide this option in my
newsletter?

I am using Windows Vista Home Premium, IE8. and Office 2007 including
Business Contact Manager

Thanks for your help!
