Do you have Acrobat or any other tool for creating PDF files? That would be
the best solution for all those versions of Outlook -- sending as a PDF atta
chment.
Remember that Outlook 97 does not support HTML (which is what File | Send To
| Mail Recipient creates), only plain text and RTF.
I prefer plain text newsletters myself. It makes the content much easier to
forward to others who might be interested in it.

For a company your size I would spring for Adobe Acrobat. Create your
newsletter in Publisher (or any other program you like), then send them all
the pdf file as an attachment.The employees are free, and the whole reason
for PDF is that everyone sees the document EXACTLY as you created it.
