Default Any way to save newsletter so it will be read properly on other computers?

Hi Terry,

That is not always the case. It depends upon the settings in the PDF
Printer Properties dialog.

Yes. That's because all information has to be embedded in a PDF file so
that it display identically on all computers (which is the point of this
thread).

Others have told you to use .pdf files but they didn't tell you that
"fancy fonts" need to be embedded (if possible) if you want them to show
up on your recipients' computers.

As some of you know, I prepare our church newsletter and e-mail it to
the church. It is then printed and sent out by U.S. Mail. We are
thinking of sending it to members of the congregation by e-mail to save
expense (postage and paper) and also trees. However, I use a variety
of clipart, photos, borders, text boxes, and fonts. That sounds like
"too much," but I don't include everything in every newsletter, and
many people have thanked me for the changes I have made. The problem
is that some items do not "hold" on a page when I e-mail them to our
secretary. In fact, one person sends messages to me in Calibri. It is
always set with 1.15 spacing. I often change it to single-spacing to
fit properly within certain areas of the newsletter--but when our
secretary receives, it sometimes reverts back to 1.15. That is easily
set back to single-spacing, but I am wondering if there is any way to
save the newsletter in such a way that it will be seen properly on a
variety of computers if we use e-mail for the congregation. In other
words, I want to make sure that page breaks are viewed properly, photos
remain in place, etc. Obviously, we will not have any control over the
types of settings that various recipients use.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
MaryL
