Hello, again, Andrew!

I've pasted the newspaper images into Word as you suggested. However I
don't know how to export them to a .pdf. I find no export option in Word
And the only Adobe software I have is the Acrobat Reader. So, I'd very much
appreciate a bit of clarification on that point.

With kindest regards,

Dick Smith

I'm not Andrew but I can help.

Without Acrobat or another program you can't create a .pdf file. The free
Reader is just a viewer. Acrobat starts at about $175 US (I think, it's been
a while since I bought it) however there are some low cost/free
alternatives. I've been recommending PrimoPDF (www.primopdf.com). It's a
great little program and it's free. You won't be able to edit your .pdf file
after it's created but if that's what you want to do, get out the plastic.

Thanks, Andrew!

I've downloaded & installed primoPDF. Will Word now let me save a file as a
..PDF? If not, how will I get the files I created in Word to be treated as
..pfd files?

You don't "save" it as a .pdf file, you "print" it as one. Select File|Print
and then change your printer to PrimoPDF. When the next screen comes you,
browse to the selected location for your .pdf file and name it (by default
it uses output.pdf). You can select For Print or For Screen. I've yet to see
the difference but maybe you will. That's it.

And Mrs Andrew wouldn't care for me to take his place any more than Keith
would want Andrew to take mine. ;-)

I'm still missing something. How would I get the output image (presumably
in screen format) of Word Print (PrintPDF) into an existing web page in
FP2002?

You don't put it into a web page, you put it into your web site (File |
Import) and then create a link to it from a web page.

Hi, Kathleen!

Thanks for your response!

Ok, so maybe I create a new folder in FP, then File>Import the .PDF document
into that folder. Then create a link to that .PDF on one of my web pages.
Would that make the document itself appear in the web page or the hyperlink?

Evidently, I'm not putting anything into web pages the right way. I type
text directly into a web page. I copy>past text into a web page directly
(no import). So far, the only thing I've been importing is .jpg files. Do
I need to import text into a folder, then somehow drag & drop onto a web
page?

With kindest regards,

Dick Smith

The pdf will open if the viewer has Acrobat Reader.

If you want to display the pdf convert the image to a gif and import that into FP and then place it into your design - this is kinda rough but I do it for basic newsletters and it works ok...(sorta). Then by clicking on the image of the pdf they can also download the pdf file so they can print it if they want to.

For text from outside of FP...best way is to Copy then Paste into Notepad (if it's formatted stuff from web, or other rtf text) then Copy from Notepad and Paste into FP. You can also use Paste Special, but sometimes this is a little dirty. You may also want to try Drag & Drop if it's a Word file.

Thanks, Rob!

This is very helpful. Most of the text that I put into FP comes from Word
documents. I had been doing Copy from Word then Past into the web page in
FP. But I've found that approach fraught with problems. so I'm Copying from
Word now, then Pasting into Notepad, then copying the text from Notepad and
then pasting into an FP web page. Only real problem is, that always messes
up the format of text from Word. I do type some text directly into FP web
pages. That seems to be ok. If there are better ways, I'd sure like to
know about them.

I'll try the .pdf to .gif conversion and import that. What I don't want is
a Word document in place of a .gif or .jpg image. I just want the image
that in the Word document.

Which tends to be better to use in web pages, .gif or .jpg? For some
reason, I think I like .jpg files better. Though I'm not locked into that
line of thought.

Dick Smith

| Thanks, Rob!
|
| This is very helpful. Most of the text that I put into FP comes from Word
| documents. I had been doing Copy from Word then Past into the web page in
| FP. But I've found that approach fraught with problems. so I'm Copying from
| Word now, then Pasting into Notepad, then copying the text from Notepad and
| then pasting into an FP web page. Only real problem is, that always messes
| up the format of text from Word. I do type some text directly into FP web
| pages. That seems to be ok. If there are better ways, I'd sure like to
| know about them.

Yes it will, that's the object of taking it into Notepad in the first place - to get rid of Word's formatting which is usually a disaster on the web.

I've had success with all three methods I mentioned: Copy/Paste-Copy/Paste...Copy/Edit/Paste Special (experiment with diff options)...and also the Drag/Drop.

|
| I'll try the .pdf to .gif conversion and import that. What I don't want is
| a Word document in place of a .gif or .jpg image. I just want the image
| that in the Word document.

Not sure I overstand now...if you want an image that is IN a Word doc...just import the image into FP.

|
| Which tends to be better to use in web pages, .gif or .jpg? For some
| reason, I think I like .jpg files better. Though I'm not locked into that
| line of thought.

Generally; jpgs for photos, gifs for graphics...but I've crossed the line many times.

Gifs have limited color pallette and tend to not handle gradients very well - but they are smaller file size and can handle one transparent color.

Jpgs handle more colors, no transparency, file size depends on quality you want, and/but is a lossy format (so watch that you don't keep adjusting and resaving it too much)

| The pdf will open if the viewer has Acrobat Reader.
|
| If you want to display the pdf convert the image to a gif and import that
| into FP and then place it into your design - this is kinda rough but I do it
| for basic newsletters and it works ok...(sorta). Then by clicking on the
| image of the pdf they can also download the pdf file so they can print it if
| they want to.
|
| For text from outside of FP...best way is to Copy then Paste into Notepad
| (if it's formatted stuff from web, or other rtf text) then Copy from Notepad
| and Paste into FP. You can also use Paste Special, but sometimes this is a
| little dirty. You may also want to try Drag & Drop if it's a Word file.

| | Hi, Kathleen!
| |
| | Thanks for your response!
| |
| | Ok, so maybe I create a new folder in FP, then File>Import the .PDF
| document
| | into that folder. Then create a link to that .PDF on one of my web pages.
| | Would that make the document itself appear in the web page or the
| hyperlink?
| |
| | Evidently, I'm not putting anything into web pages the right way. I type
| | text directly into a web page. I copy>past text into a web page directly
| | (no import). So far, the only thing I've been importing is .jpg files.
| Do
| | I need to import text into a folder, then somehow drag & drop onto a web
| | page?
