My girlfriend works in the travel business and she has to make flyers on her PC at work. They just suck. (Don't look good at all). I made her a really nice one with photoshoped pics and Word. (This had to be made in Word for her to read it at work). But I'm wondering.. She needs it sent as an email and not as an attachement. So far she's done copy pastes from older flyer but that's not the right way. I've tried everything to do anything decent html wise in Entourage but it ain't working. (I can barely import pictures let alone move them around)

Isn't there something out there that'll make a nice html email and then I can send it with Entourage or whattever email program ?

Thanks in aedvance for the help as always... ;-)

If it looks good in Word, then simply Save As HTML, and send the file as an html email via whatever email app you use.

Yes, I tried it. But it changes colors and positions of text and graphics... Not very reliable.


Plus it doesn't put TAGS around emails and web addresses. (So that one can just click it in the email)


Plus.. ;-)
Even if I do this.. how do I attach this html file to an Entourage email ?
Word creates a html file and a folder with all graphics etc... Can't put it in Entourage.

I don't know how to do it in Entourage, but sending an html email is insanely easy in Mail. In fact, all you do is drag the html file to the message window, and send the email. Of course, you have to have the pictures hosted on a web server for html email.

It costs a little bit of money, but Freeway may be what you want. This is a WYSIWYG HTML editor that allows you to drag images around and whatnot in the same manner as layers in Photoshop. You can create your flyers with this app and then send the html via whatever email app you use.

If she uses Outlook Express to read the email at work then is is really simple for her to do.
Create your HTML flyer, you can use any HTML app to do this (but please not Word, then upload the lot to some accessable web space.
It is then really simple for your gilfrend to use Outlook Express to convert it to an email.
In OE click on the little arrow next to the 'Create Mail' icon in the toolbar. From the menu that drops down select 'Web Page'. This opens a window where you can enter a web address, enter the address for the HTML flyer that you created (have the flyer open in a browser window and copy, paste the URL is probbaly the simplest way). Click ok, This will create an e-mail that looks exactly the same as the webpage.
