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

Ah! That's a good idea. I do have Word 2007 (running under Vista Home
Premium). I have not previously used any any Add-Inst. How/where do I
locate the process for doing that?

Thanks,
MaryL

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
