Dear Gentlemen: I want to produce a nice free but size efficient E-Magazine. I have tested PDF which looks great (appearance is ideal), but its file size will limit pages and images etc. for reasonable download or email distribution. The other alternative is Html documents. I have tested on page which even with color photos was ideal as far as file size is concerned. But making page links, naming pages, making sure everything works is technically more tedious than in PDF format. I have made one web page with Cyberstudio Personal Edition, which works. Do I make the E-Magazine just like a web page, and that is emailed? Are there any special provisons, technical matters that I must address? I also have Canvas 7.0 and have read some about making web pages and intranet documents, stuff about relative and absolute directories etc. I do not know much about html. I also have Pagemaker which I can also produce html documents if I remember correctly. Maybe it would be easier to make a long vertical document (one page) in vertical format that is scrolled down for viewing? Excuse my ignorance, but this is new areas of endeavor, and I would apreciate any suggestions? I also downloaded Pegasus, free email program that allows large email address books called distribution lists, but I don't know how to efficiently set it up so that subscriptions and unsubscribe will go to the right mail folder (or is that done by hand?). James
