the newsletter is blurry
Hi!
I tried to develop a newsletter with Publisher. It is quite easy to use and I had no no problems at all until I tried to send it per e-mail (I have outlook 2003), i.e. in order to test my newsletter, I sent it to myself. But: the text was really blurry. Especially all the hyperlinks are not shown clearly. I would not like to send the newsletter via attachment - so pdf is not really an option for me. How can I improve my newsletter? Can I send a newsletter directly via smtp without using Outlook? Thanks |

the newsletter is blurry
The reason the text is blurry is the newsletter has been converted to an
image. Try to copy some of the text, and you will see that you can't. Read my reply to "Why does Publisher not allow multiple page email newsletters" by misterf1 5/20/06 for more of my, and other thoughts about this subject, and/or reference: "Create and send e-mail publications using Publisher": http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...743381033.aspx DavidF AnViCom" wrote in message ...

the newsletter is blurry
Question; do all of your recipients have your release of Publisher? If not
they will not be able to open a .pub file. A pdf is much smaller. I send a club newsletter created in Publisher and converted to pdf each month via an attachment. Examples: http://www.myscacc.org/newsletters.htm Your other alternative would be to create an HTML newsletter via FrontPage. I create one of this type for over 1,500 recipients on a sporadic basis. http://www.anthemwebs.com/communityn...revious_issues Note that the first one (pdf) ranges from 25 to 35 pages and is usually printed by the recipient, while the second is not deliniated by page but is essentially one long HTML e-mail. It is only occasionally printed. "DavidF" wrote in message ... The reason the text is blurry is the newsletter has been converted to an image.

the newsletter is blurry
admittedly, I have never tried FrontPage, but... I would need to buy it...
The newsletter gets blurry when I receive it. While using publisher 2003 and in the "website-preview" it is perfect. I have tried to send it via both, Outlook 2003 and Outlook Express. But... no chance. To your suggestions: a. I would not like to send it via pdf. I have already tried it and I know that I have less problems doing so, but I still prefer the html-based e-mail letter. b. I am sending the newsletter as an html-based e-mail. I do not attach it and I do not send it as jpeg, nor as pub. Btw, I really thank you for responding my questions!
