Keith: Thanks for the advice. Will give the pdf option a try since layout IS crucial. New South Wales ? This time of year you must be freezing. We are experiencing a heat wave here, rare for Oregon except in August. Best wishes Billy In a message dated 6/29/2006 8:58:36 P.M. Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

What exact steps are needed to get stuff from > Open Office into the text itself of an e-mail ? The standard Email thing that OO does is to open your email program and add the file as an attachment which as you say is not what you want it to do. There are two ways you can do it: 1. Produce it as an html file. I think most html email programs will open an html file in-line... your graphics still show up as attachments but the program will show them in with the text... might be worth experimenting with to find out how to get the right results. 2. If I were producing something as an E-zine in which layout is important I would save it as a pdf which OO does quite well. -- God bless you, Keith Bates 4 Mooloobar St Narrabri NSW 2390 Phone: 02 67924890 Fax: 02 67925418 www.new-life.org.au If you don't have a reason to live JESUS IS THE ANSWER!
