Just a note of caution. Unless I am mistaken, using the PDF route means you will have to attach the file to the e-mail.

Am I missing something?

Enjoy the heat wave,

experiencing  a heat wave here, rare for Oregon except in  August.

Karen :
I just joined less than an hour ago. Hopefully there are  people on
this list who actually answer questions.

Yes there  are lots of them.
What I am trying to figure out is how to get material that I create
on Open Office to transfer directly to  the BODY of e-mail.
Not as Attachments. Not as  Attachments,
I'm repeating this because in a previous service I used a techie
simply could not understand that I wanted to  do something
non-standard.

We don't use techies around here--  well a couple of people are, but the
vast majority are simple  users.

I'm trying to create an E-Zine. Graphics, etc, would be  utterly
useless as attachments. 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.
