Formatting Problems emialing Publisher 2007 newsletter
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.

Formatting Problems emialing Publisher 2007 newsletter
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.

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!
