Quarterly newsletter - questions for Pat & GC

[guest24]

I cant remember the last newsletter I received; has there been one lately? Or have I slipped off the membership records again and so none are being posted to me?

Aye Hackbridge,

Domestic and self employed pressures, don't go there!!!!!!

Keep blethering here, it saves the trees and all those cuttlefish and quills!

Regards, Bill

Took the bloody thing to the printers last week in exactly the same format we've used for ages (Publisher file on disk) and his PC had a sulk and wouldn't load it (funny, it loads fine on mine).

Tried to email it to him and my mailbox had a sulk too.

That's after finding that I'd inadvertently wiped an evening's work on the bloody thing and having to do it all again.

Trying again tomorrow

There's your answer matey :-)

As the club magazine is created as a publisher file (microsoft), would it be possible to have it as a download from a secure section of this website? That way, those of us with Publisher could download and read it (and save paper as Bill suggests)?

Alternatively, is the option of creating the magazine using Adobe Acrobat a possibility as the "acrobat reader" is free? I'm all for saving paper.

I wasn't hassling you GC, I know how busy you are and I know how hard it is to do a club mag. I was just feeling paranoid - the arrival of middle age is a bizarre thing.

Adobe (PDF) file is probably the best option as the reader is free.

It's been on the to do list for two years :-(

Oi GC,

Stop putting that fizog at the end of your sentences. Go peruse the URL I've just posted under Army stuff and see if you and No.002 can 'brainstorm' something better for a Dragon des res!

Cheers, Bill

Indeed, try this one or much much better would be this one I'm sure Steve will let you into the secret, which will of course give you somethign else to smile about
This may be a congregation of lunatics and idiots (no offence meant, choose your own labels chaps) but you've made a good number of friends through this nonsense so don't let it grind you down, just laugh, feel better, and join in the mass stupidity
It's therapy really!!

Newsletter - whilst a nice bit of paper allows me to read it in the bath - a download would cut costs and probably some of the effort too?

In setting it oout do you have to arrange it so the right pages print in the right order so it folds from A4 to A5 and reads properly?  Asking because I have taken on the production of the local Organic group newsletter and the biggest bugbear I have is getting the pages from an order I can read on screen to one that when it is printed out folds up nice - I seem to loose conten etc.

(Oooor - maybe the site info should change from Singles (m/c), camping stoves and Landies to include home publishing....)
