If I could I would convert it to word. I'm still working on reloading all the programs back on to my computer. I had a major crash last week to where I had to reload this darn thing. :( Anyway, if you have Publisher, I cand send it to you in that since that is the program that I created in. :) I would post it on here but it is like 2.58 MB and the site will only allow 2.0 MB to be uploaded. So if anyone would like it in Publisher format just PM me. Sorry I can't convert it to word for ya. :(

I send mine as the body of the email. The way I do it is since it is in PDF format I just copy the pages and past them like pictures. It's really easy. I do at my shows mention that I do a monthly newsletter and if they would like to receive it to make sure they put their email on the door slip or the order form and I will add them to my list.

Kathi, Can you send me a copy so I can see how it works? I do mine in PDF also, but attach it. I am wondering if it is hard to read (smaller) if it is in the body....thx!

Kat,

I think your August newsletter was awesome, are you going to keep doing them every month??? I would rather use yours, they seem easier for me to adjust than the others I have seen.

Thanks!

Stephanie,
Yeah, I'll be posting my September Newsletter here in the next frew days. If you like I can email it to you in word when I get it done. Just let me know. Thanks again. I'm glad you liked it. :)
 
I definitely will need it in Word. I can't convert a pdf to word. My private email is [email protected], or if you post it here I will find it for sure!!!

Thanks so much!!! I just love your format for the newsletter, it really looks like a newsletter!!!
