What is the best way to save Publisher images to show others?

[Carrie]

Say I set up a flyer or business card and want to email it to someone who
doesn't have the program (to open a publisher file). Maybe doesn't even
have Word or any of the Office programs. All I can see is save as Word doc
type files (except publisher) To show the person what I'm doing with the
flyer, business card, etc.

Now, I've been using Paint Shop Pro to screen capture the picture,
cropping it, saving it as a jpg, to email. Seems like I once tried
copy/paste between Pub and PSP and it didn't work. Though I know copy/paste
will work between Word and PSP.

Maybe the picture can be exported to PSP or something from Publisher?

There might be something faster and easier I'm not aware of. There
usually is (LOL)

My choice is to create a .pdf file.

Try this...

Download and install the following free PDF Creator.

PrimoPDF
http://www.primopdf.com/

With your new program installed...open your project
in Publisher and go to...File / Print.

On your Print screen...open the drop window and
select PrimoPDF as your printer.

Click...OK...now you will see the PrimoPDF screen
and you can browse to a save folder.

When you click...OK..your .pdf file will be created
in your save folder.

The resulting .pdf file can be viewed on any computer
that has the free Adobe Reader installed.

That's an idea. I've never done much with PDF, except for opening these
files myself

I have a program someone once gave me, I've never done much with (I looked
at it and it seemed like Publisher, which I'm learning and I stuck with that
for now) Serif PagePlus 8 PDF. This sounds like it makes PDF files, too.
All of them can be openned with Acrobat readers? For awhile I thought one
had to buy a very expensive program to create PDF files.

I've been trying to decide what to do with the afternoon (I'm home
alone and feels like a luxury to let boring chores just go) now I think I'll
play with PDF files.

Thanks!

I keep reading posts here, questions others are asking and getting
answered, I should print out the answers (notes) and put them altogether
somewhere for my own personal use. I feel like a sponge (learning) I'm
actually starting to remember and apply this, too.

PDF files are great for people who don't have the program that made a
document. And I've recommended PrimoPDF many times to fellow guild
newsletter editors. This allows us to send newsletters electronically and
save postage. Small non-profit groups don't have a lot of extra cash and
saving a few dollars on printing and mailing costs helps.

PrimoPDF is very simple...just print
my instructions and give it a try.

Besides, PDF files are much smaller than the Publisher files. Great when
sending e-mail attachments.
