Long publisher page (33") sent as email and problem w/ MS2007
Think about this...have you ever received a 33" email from someone? Doubt
it. I know if I did (and I never ever have received any that long)...I wouldn't bother scrolling all the way down.

Beverly,
There are things you can do, design, layout etc. in a print document that chokes Publisher when it tries to convert to HTML. Sometimes large gaps can be a result of trying to overlap images, trying to use word wrap, etc. I would study your layout right before the gap for the solution. Something you are doing there is causing the gap. You may have to deconstruct or pull design elements into the scratch area and test to find what you are doing that is creating the gap. There is also the possibility that the problem is in the content just below the gap, but that is less likely. You can send a newsletter as the body of your email in HTML format, or as an image. If you go to Tools Options Web tab you have the option of sending as a JPG. The biggest problem with sending as an image is the file size can be huge. Secondarily, when you convert to an image the text will tend to blur. And for what its worth, in Pub 2007 any inserted hyperlinks will survive the conversion to an image. You don't need to buy additional software or use anything but Publisher, contrary to the advice given in the linked workaround. With that said, I tend to agree with most people in this group that sending as an attached PDF is the best way to go. And in Pub 2007 you can use the PDF add in and produce PDFs that will preserve your hyperlinks. I think using a PDF is the best way especially when you are sending a document formatted for print as you are doing. If you open one of the email formatted newsletter templates in 2007, you will notice the width is 5.818 inches wide, or about 560 pixels wide...not 8.5 inches. Have you ever received a professionally designed email that is 8.5 inches wide? IMHO if you want to send as a message in either HTML or image format, you should work within the space suggested in the email formatted templates, and link to most of your content where you have it posted on your website...that's what the "more details" in the templates is for. If you want to send a print formatted 4 page newsletter, then send as an attached PDF, or you will just continue to have problems, even if you fix your current issue. If you want to send as a message in either HTML or image format, then design your publication with that in mind and start with the email formatted newsletter templates.

Not to mention that if the sender used fonts in the production that are not on the reader's computer, the file won't look the same. Nor would there be any guarantee that formatting would look the same either. |

If the email contents were a gif image the fonts should be ok, shouldn't
they? -- Don Vancouver, USA "Uncle Grumpy" wrote in message ... "Rob Giordano \(Crash\)" wrote: Think about this...have you ever received a 33" email from someone? Doubt it.

Long publisher page (33") sent as email and problem w/ MS2007
Here is a link to pdf newsletters that I have created in Publisher, and
converted to pdfs for our computer club. They range in size from approximately 15 pages to 37 pages. The computer club's distribution ranges from 900 to 1,000. http://www.myscacc.org/newsletters.htm Alternatively, I also have a personal HTML newsletter that I send to 1,200 or more. Here is an archive of all past issues: http://www.anthemwebs.com/communityn...revious_issues Since, they are all subscribers, they admit the HTML message without question. Here is an updated version of the instruction page that I started with: http://www.microsoftfrontpage.com/us...ers/index.html "Beverly" wrote in message ...
