Create newsletter with Pages and send out via mail (not attachement)?

Question asked and responded several times 😟

(1) if you own a commercial application package named iWorks, I'm really interested : it's a collector !

(2) there is no way to insert a Pages document in the body of a mail.

This is the point at which Apple falls off the rails so to speak.

You have a problem with sending Pages documents out via email, in that few people will be able to open it because they:

1. are on PCs

2. do not have iWork installed or

3. do not have the same version of iWork installed as you.

You can however:

As far as I know, only single page PDFs will appear directly in the mail and they will do only in some mail applications.
In other apps and always if the PDF contain several pages, it will be an attachment : what was rejected by the OP.

No it is multipage. Can't test for all appliactions but it was both sent and received on my system/Mail as the 3 pages in the document.

When Helena Rubenstein arrived in Australia she first worked in David Jones, our version of Harrods.

A woman approached another salesperson and asked "Do you have a brown cashmere top?"

To which the salesperson replied "Sorry no madam"

Helena stepped in and asked "Would madam like a blue or black one instead?" and made the sale to the lady who wanted a top. It seemed that was more important than none at all.

There is a lesson to be learnt from this.

how do we use our Apple Environment to create a simple newsletter? I have CS4, IWorks etc. : there seems to be no possibility.

email newsletters are html, and you would normally use a web editor to create them. Apple has iWeb, Adobe has Dreamweaver, and there are many others

Microsoft controls over 90% of the computers out there through its software.

They see that you have either the MsOffice suite or some equivalent on your machine and how everything interacts and also how other formats do not interact.

So Apple does have the game stacked against it.

Still where it could do at least something for even the tiny minority of Mac users, they do fall down on the job. Sadly they profess far more ease of use, interaction and compatibility than exists. Some call that marketing, I have a far shorter word for the same thing.

It may be clumsy but you could convert your newsletter page by page to jpegs and drag those into your emails. Clumsy, nowhere near as legible and still very large emails.

PS I am curious what format or workflow MsPublisher has. Can you click on my blue name and email me a Publisher formatted email newsletter and I will see how it appears in Mail.

I am having the exact same issue, but combine that with my mobileme account returning as 'junk' now. I believe it's because my previous emails had attachments that users were unsure about, so now I'm trying to avoid attachments.
I have had to go the routes suggested short of going to a PC...not ideal.
Also found that when I saved my pdf as a jpg, it only saved 1 of 5 pages. Is there a way to 'join' all the sheets in Pages so they act as one page? May be the work around...
Thx,
Carol

I'm running Mail.app
When I insert a 3 pages PDF it's treated as an attachment, but it's content is not displayed which is why the OP asked for.

So, PDF is not matching the described requirements.
It will be the same with a doc file.
Only content of picture files are displayed in the mail.

But maybe you are describing a feature specific to 10.6.3 which I may no longer test.
The imac running it is returned to it's true owner.

True. I misread and misstated.
