wp,
In order for Molly to follow your example, she would not be able to use shared borders, themes, or
the navigation component. (Just want to make this clear to Molly)
Overall the best approach would be to create the newsletters in Word or Publisher, then convert to a
PDF file, then just upload and create a link to each PDF issue of the newsletter.

Molly,
I visited your site and see that you are displaying only 1 newsletter in a subweb.
That seems to be a waste of space and resources, in 2 years you will have 10 or 20 subwebs, each
containing a border folder, images,etc.
If all you need to do is change the nav menu for a single page, then just don't include the shared
border on that page. Here's how I set mine:
In your root directory, create a folder called newsletters.
Make a new page and save as newsletter_template.htm
On page properties, select don't publish (unless you will use it live on your site)
On the page go to format/shared borders, unselect any you don't want to use. Make sure you select "current page".
Insert a 100% wide 1 row table at the top of the page, and insert your header/banner as desired
(you can copy/past to do this).
Next, insert a 100% wide 2 column table below your header table.
Open your index page and copy everything in the left border and paste it in the left column on the
template page. Adjust the column size to suit.
When you create a new newsletter, open the template and save as whateverdate.htm. Put your
newsletter text in the right border. You can add and/or delete any menu items already in the left
column as it applies to your newsletter without affecting the entire site. Or you could just link
any text in the newsletter. Save the files in the newsletter folder and link to them as usual.
If you have photos in newsletters, also create a folder for them such as photos_march. This way
it is quite easy to remove them when they become extinct.
It may not be the "best" way to do it, but it works for me with several webs and differing
templates, and it's very simple. You could also make a .pdf and link to it directly, but the
program may not be cost effective.
situation, it doesn't work and allot of head ache. Subwebs are necessary due to the shared border
issue. Each months newsletter information is difference therefore I need to either add or delete
navigation links...so big problem.component. I can't get the link to my March/April front page on the TOC to link right therefore it
doesn't work. My path when I do look at my website navigation link "newsletter" to "TOC" works
fine, it is the link to the "front page" of the newsletter it can't find. IF you want check it out
at
www.nooksack-tribe.org."March/April" you won't find the page...look at the path in the address bar as you look at both Feb
and March/April. My eyes are really tired and I can't see what is wrong. Thanks.TOC I have a link that goes to March/April newsletter BUT it isn't working when I go to the
internet, pull up the website and go to that page to check.instructed, but can't get my March/April newsletter link to work. The path goes as follows:
http://www.nooksack-tribe.org/Newsletter/MarApr04/MA04pg1.htm When I check the website through the
internet the path above shows, but no information of March/April comes up.
