Thanks for the help, everyone. The suggestion for using PDF turned out to
be an excellent idea. The download worked smoothly, and it only takes about
two seconds to "save as" to PDF. That even solves another issue that I have
been considering--that is, how to make this file more functional for those
with some vision problelms. By using, PDF, they can easily click on the
arrow at the top of the screen to enlarge everything, yet all of the
original boxes and other settings are retained.

The one remaining problem (not as important) is that the file size is now
truly massive! I haven't tried compressing, as someone on the NG suggested,
because this newsletter does not contain any photos. And, despite that, it
is extremely large, and I do have a fear that the size may cause a problem
for some people. The original size of the newsletter is 2.80 MB. The
size when sized to PDF becomes 840 KB.

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
