Front Page compatibility with Publisher

Hi. I create and manage web pages for an association and I use Front Page.
I then create a Newsletter via Front Page and post it on the web. I then
email the Newsletter to the assn membership, but I have to use Publisher
because Front Page doesn't do emails, I guess? Is there a way to make
Publisher accept the Newsletter and all formatting? When I have tried to
open an html page (made with Front Page) in Publisher without having the
formatting get all messed up? I am posting this on both Publisher and Front
Page discussion groups. Thanks for any help :)

Stick with FrontPage...you should be able to email a newsletter, and
hopefully the folks at the FrontPage newsgroup can help you with that. The
code is way different in the two programs, and do not mix well.

Since you have FrontPage and Publisher, why would you do the newsletter in
FP? You could be creating the newsletter with Publisher and then posting it
as a .pdf file on your website. Send your membership an email telling them
the newsletter is available on the website. This will keep their mailboxes
from getting filled with a single file. Not everyone checks their email as
obsessively as others (translation: me).

I do the Newsletter in FP to post it on the web. I then have to do it in
Publisher because the email format doesn't get messed up. The membership
with dial up wants the Newsletter emailed; they do not want to check it on
the internet and wait for all the links to download; I think they check their
email accounts so they just see what's on the server, as opposed to waiting
for all the links to download on the web (FP Newsletter). I use links and
animations in the FP E-News and want the emailed one to at least appear the
same. It is a real pain to try and duplicate! :)

You can compose your email newsletter in FP as a "loose" page, then use that
to build your newletter in Outlook EXPRESS (not Outlook) - that's one easy
way of doing it.
