Create a newsletter to email

Using Publisher, you can design a professional-looking HTML-based newsletter to send in the body of an e-mail. Publisher includes a number of Web-based designs that are specially formatted to fit the size of an e-mail message. To use one of these:

1. Select New from the File menu, or select New Publication from the task pane menu.
2. In the New Publication task pane, select Web Sites and E-mail, then E-mail, and then Newsletter.

3. Select a design from the Newsletter preview gallery.
4. Use the task pane to select design options for the newsletter.

Tip:

Select a Web-based font scheme for the newsletter. Otherwise, your publication may be converted to an image to preserve the appearance of the fonts.

To preview your newsletter prior to sending it, open the File menu and select Send E-Mail, and then E-Mail Preview. The newsletter is displayed in a new browser window.

To send the newsletter:

1. From the File menu, select Send E-Mail, and then Send This Page as Message.

The page appears in the body of a new message, with the task pane to the left. You can use the task pane to make changes to the appearance of the newsletter before you send it.

2. Enter your recipient's e-mail address and a subject.
3. Click Send.

Note:

To send a publication as an e-mail, you must have Microsoft® Outlook 2003 or Express 5.x or 6.0.

If you've created a print publication, you can send one of the pages as an e-mail, as well; Publisher will convert the page to HTML. However, you may need to adjust the size of the page to fit a standard message. In most cases, a 5.8” width with no margins on any side works the best.

You can send a multi-page publication as a standard e-mail attachment, but the recipient will need Publisher in order to view it.
