create bookmarks in publisher 2003 email newsletter

[Jessica]

I'm trying to create an email newsletter with Publisher 2003 but I'm having
trouble creating bookmarks. I'd like to have a section of titles that are
links to that section of the email, but I can't seem to get it to work. Any
ideas if this is possible with Publisher?

I don't know (I know there's a way to do this with html coding on a
webpage) but.. on the topic of setting it up this way, people might jump to
one topic in the newsletter, look at it then close. Just going by the title
in the index and what they think it might be.

If you don't do this, they would have to skim over the entire newsletter,
to see if there's another they might be interested in reading more closely
and find something they might not have seen if they went by the titles in
the idex alone.

If you follow me?

Aside from that, it would be good to know if links in a document can be
made in Publisher. I've been learning 2000 but didn't get to using it for
webpages.

There is a way to do this with html coding on a webpage, but it doesn't work
when the file is sent as an email message.

If you send it as a PDF, you can use hyperlinks. Not everyone has their email
programs setup to accept HTML It can be a source of viruses and other nasty stuff. Do
you have a web site?

Of course, not everyone has a reader for pdf, too.

Maybe there should be a link to Adobe Acrobat included if it's sent pdf?

There's also the idea you need a program to set it up AS pdf, which is
expensive if you use Adobe.

I think there are others, that are cheaper or even free.

Actually (to me) this sounds like more of a project than it's worth. I
don't know if I'm typical of an email newsletter reader, but I don't invest
that much time into reading them.

I know, she asked a question about setting it up and not feedback about
the project. It just seems like making it complicated for an email
newsletter.

Almost every computer manufactured for the last 6 years have Adobe Reader
pre-installed by the computer manufacturer.

Most folks know about the Reader.
There are free PDF creators around, however I have no clue how they work. I have
Acrobat 7 and I know you can include hyperlinks.
It is a matter of choice how one sends a newsletter. I do a charity site and the
newsletter is available with a link to the PDF or one can simply read it online at
the site.

We are currently sending it as a pdf attachment, but with some of our pc's
it can be slow so I was trying to come up with a better way to send and view
it.

I don't have a website, but that would be optimal. I'm trying to push
implementation of a team site using sharepoint , but right now just looking
for a temporary fix.

All of the web links seem to be working fine in the email, it's just the
links to jump to other places in the document that aren't either showing up
or working at all.
