Glenna,

You might want to look at an office suite called Open Office. You can
download it for free at www.openoffice.org. It is a full-fledged set of
office productivity programs (much like Microsoft Office) but it is
free. The part that might interest you is that the word processor
(called Writer) will create PDF files. It is compatible with Microsoft's
Word.

I have not used this yet so I cannot vouch for its quality or ease of
use but I have read good things about it. I just downloaded it in about
three minutes on my cable modem.

Good Luck,
Ken Fordham

Subject: [FAMILY-NEWSLETTERS] sending newsletters by email

Hello List,
I read Jackie Utley's wonderful newsletter and she got me
excited about
doing one for my family. I loved her format on Microsoft Publisher that
she
converted to pdf and can be opened with Acrobat Reader, and so began
creating my newsletter on Publisher. I have it almost finished. BIG
SNAG.
I don't have a pdf program on my computer to convert my newsletter to
that
format. I want to email it to many. I don't know much about technology
but
I do know that when I send material by email on Word it usually ends up
in a
different format that what I created. And I know that unless one has
Publisher you can't open Publisher sent by email.
Are any of you creating Newsletters and sending them
successfully by email?
If so would you please share how you are doing it?
Has anyone tried the FREE downloads of a pdf program? Are you
satisfied?
Can you recommend a good pdf program that is under $50.?
Thank you so much for any ideas or suggestions.
Sincerely,
Glenna Boswell
