Why does Publisher not allow multiple page email newsletters?
Just received Publisher 2003. I'm trying to make an email newsletter and
trying to incorporate the "more details" links embedded into the template. However, if I want that to be a link to another page in the document, it doesn't work if I send the .pub as a message in an email. It doesn't work any way I save it, .mht, .tif, etc. I'm curious why I had to spend two days sorting out the whole "more details" links through the help files only to find that they're useless unless I have it link to some other arbitrary site. I bought publisher for this sole purpose, to send a newsletter - a document - not a link service to a website which I do not own or operate. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Publisher is not a web design tool????? Did Microsoft put the coding in the
program to create WebPages and the documentation in the Help files and the many pages in the "Publisher Companion" manual just to run up the price? Ah.... don't answer that. G Me thinks you mis-speak. Publisher may not be accredited as the "premiere" or "outstanding" or "excellent" or "ist wundervoll" or even "molto bene", but will carry a message to the world as pictures with sound.

Why does Publisher not allow multiple page email newsletters?
Have you ever received a multipage email message produced by any software?
Ain't going to happen! The only way I know of to send a multipage document by email is to convert it to PDF, MHT or other formats, and ATTACH it. Though you shouldn't, for lots of reasons, you can convert a multipage newsletter that you designed for print, to a single page that you can email. Ed provided you with a link to one method. Here is another that does not require buying additional software, converting to PDF, etc., based on "Create and send e-mail publications using Publisher": http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...743381033.aspx First go to File Convert to web page. You will see a dialog box that will allow you to save a copy of the print publication if you want. You will then get the option of adding a navigation bar. In this case choose no. Finish. You could also just go to File Page Setup under Publication Type, choose Custom and enter whatever width or height you want, but it is probably easier to convert to a web page and save as a different file. By converting to a web page, you automatically end up with a default length of 48", or about 4600 pixels, but the final email message page will be only as long as the final element on that page. Go to page 2 of your document. Click anywhere on the page, and "Ctrl + A" to select all the elements on your page, or draw a box around all the elements you want to copy. Scroll to the bottom of the last element you have selected, and click the grouping icon and group together all the elements. Then right click Copy. Then go back to your first page, and paste. Move the group of elements around until they are lined up as you want them, or use the Arrange functions. Repeat this process until you have copied all the pages (or content you want to send) onto the first page, delete the old pages. Then go to Tools Options Web Tab, and select "Send entire publication page as a single JPG...". Then also assuming that you are using a newer version of Outlook or Outlook Express, go to File Send Email Send this page as a message. You will then see the same heading appear above the page as you would see in Outlook or OE, so fill out the fields as you would normally, and Send. As I said, the page that will be sent will be only as long as the last element on your page, hyperlinks will survive, font and image size will remain the same, and the page will print as any other message. One major problem with this method, or the method referenced by Ed, is that you end up with a large file to email. With either method, if you choose one of the 4 page newsletter templates for print provided by Publisher, you will end up with an email size approaching 800 kb or larger depending on how many images you include, which is way too large to be sending to anyone...especially anyone who doesn't have a broadband connection. Alternatively you can send one page in HTML format as described in the Microsoft article, but then the person that receives it has to have their email client HTML enabled. If you choose to go this route, you need to use one of the templates you will find under Web Sites and E-mail E-mail Newsletter. It will result in a more appropriate width (~5.8 inches or 760 pixels) for an email message, a much smaller file size, a web safe font, and your text will be more crisp and clear and can be copied...it won't be converted to an image. You can increase the length as necessary. Bottom line is that using the "read more" links on a small, single page to content on a website, is the better way to go IMHO if you want to send as a message and not as an attachment, and you want to use Publisher for this job.
