I tried to compose in Outlook, but it doesn't let you control where you put
the graphics, etc. unless I was doing something wrong. I may just try to g to
constant contact or something so I can get this out, don't know if I'll
encounter the same problems or not. Thanks for all the help.

Publisher doesn't do HTML very well. The only other
suggestion I have would be for you to compose the
newsletter in Outlook.
or Convert the newsletter to a PDF, send as an
attachment.
Microsoft has a Save as PDF add in.

Thanks for the response Mary. The problem is that if
you send an email
newsletter as an attachment, 9 times out of 10, it
won't get opened. My
husband receives hundreds of newsletters from other
companys that are just
messages with graphics and text and has no trouble
with them distorting or
breaking apart. My whole questions is, how do they
do it? We use Outlook
2007, with html accepted, and my emails still break
apart. They break apart
as soon as they go into Outlook sent items.
But...when I first did my
newsletter, things did break apart. I messed around
with the text boxes and
graphics, realigning, etc. and finally they went
through without breaking
apart. This went OK for 2 years. We recently
upgraded from Windows XP to
Windows 7. The first newsletter I did after we
upgarded went through fine, I
thought maybe there was an update somewhere that may
have made the
difference. My confusion is that it worked OK for
awhile and then starting
breaking apart. And...if you look at publisher help
and how to it gives you
explicit instructions to send an email newsletter as
a message. Why do this
if it can't be accomplished, especiall if you have
the programs that it says
are required. We are using Publisher 2007 and
Outlook 2007. You would think
that the programs in the Microsoft Office Suite would
be able to work
together. I know you probably think that we are
being difficult, but there
must be a way to do this without sending attachments,
we get them all the
time at our office.(All of my newsletters are just
single page) Anyway, it
is still very frustrating as over 50 of my
newsletters kicked back if I sent
it as an image. Sor for now, no more newsletters. I
do appreciate all the
help everyone here on the forum gives. I have been
working on our website as
well and am almost ready to go live. Just waiting
for a few things from the
photograper. Learned from very helpful tips and
tricks to make things work
better. I will post the url when we get up and
going. Sorry to be such a
pain about the newsletter email. Thanks

I have been sending out an email newsletter for 2
years as a message. It did
move spaces a bit but the bulk of the message and
pictures were right, no
major distortions. I guess I was just lucky!
Sent
my February newsletter,
looked great. Went on vacation for a month, came
back to do the next
newsletter, now it is all breaking apart. Problem
I
had with sending as a
jpeg was many of the recipients kicked it back as
spam, when they didn't
before. So, I guess this is why you have to pay
some
one else to do it.
Wonder what program they use, maybe we should all
buy
that one instead. I
agree with tearing MyHairOut, if the program can't
deliver, why say they can?
Very frustrating!!

Problem with email newsletter from MS Publisher
2007
18-Jan-10

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
iseems to be no consistent
reason - some view it fine using Outlook, others
do
not; some view it fine
using web-based mail, such as hotmail and google,
others do not.

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!
