Hi Mary,

The best way to ensure you document retains its intended formatting is to convert it to the PDF file format (there's an MS Add-In to
do this with Word 2007). With or without Word 2007, you can also do the conversion with Adobe Acrobat Professional and a wide range
of other PDF distillers.

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
