Monthly newsletter app

11 years ago

I need to find an app for making a monthly newsletter for Condominium Association.
It is a template that I am looking for- something where I can insert small pictures, ( not photos, but a picture of a house, dog, something pertaining to condo life). I am not certain what I should be searching for.
I have looked under: letter templates, monthly newsletter without success.
What should I look for?
Thx

You can do that with Wordpad which you already have on your computer, assuming you are looking for a word processing program.

click Start
click All programs
click Accessories
click Wordpad

When you get to where you want the picture click 'Picture' in the Wordpad program then browse to where you have it stored, click to highlight then click OK. Use the left, right or centre align buttons to place it horizontally where you want it.

Always save it as a Rich text Format (.rtf) so that any processor on any computer can open your newsletter.

I am going to make a guess that you are using Microsoft Word...since you didn't say. Also, I'm assuming you're looking for a free template as opposed to a paid one.

Why not just create the template that you want? Experiment a little with the fonts & page layout, inserting graphics where you want them. When you achieve a satisfactory result, SAVE IT AS A TEMPLATE, not a document. That means FILE : SAVE AS and then save it as a .dot file, not a .doc file.

There are other options, but if you require something that cannot be done in Word you might need a desktop publishing app such as Microsoft Publisher ($) or the free one in the link below. If these do not satisfy, there are other options if you are willing to work in the OPEN DOCUMENT FORMAT, which would require you to install either Open Office or Libre Office.

newsletter information for late summer/fall?
Q
Comments (5)
Some thoughts/tips that you can offer: - different types of grass have different requirements, folks might want to check out Walter Reeves's Lawn Calendars to find out what to do for their lawn: http://www.walterreeves.com/lawns/article.phtml?cat=6&id=353 - have fewer weeds next year by making sure that this year's weeds don't go to seed! A favorite rhyme of mine: "One year's seeding equals seven years of weeding" (because the seeds don't all germinate the same year). - when the leaves come down in the fall, save them for a compost pile or chop them up with your lawn mower and use them as mulch under your trees and shrubs. As the leaves break down, they act as free fertilizer for those plants. - fall is a great time to plant trees and shrubs; use the hot summer to research the right plants so that you are ready to plant in the fall. Walter Reeves also offers a nice seasonal calendar. Here is a link that might be useful: Seasonal calendar

She doesn't do the yearly thing either. I used to subscribe and she stopped I think 2001 or 02 ? I think.... I have it in my file cabinet. .... I would have to go dig it out to find out the exact date but it really doesn't matter cause they don't do them anymore. Amy said she and the family were ready for privacy.

I usually read the columns online, but wouldn't subscribe to the pay site. I find about 1 in 4 of their columns interesting. Some are laughable. Today's was about a person who missed a card payment and was mad about the charges so they went to a "counselor" who told her to stop making all credit card payments for six months. Now of course she has $9,000.00 in charges and the interest rate has jumped to 32%, and minimum payments (minimum payments? what's that?) have gone from $30 to $250/month or something like that. Now she's mad at the world. I think it's funny. But for the recipe help, yes there's a lot of good free sites, but also there's the cooking forum here on GW that is very helpful. Some may know of the one you're looking for and they'll give good suggestions on alternatives and suggestions on where to look. Another thing to try is look for the recipe posted in other areas. If you remember the ingredients and use them as keywords it could help. You might find the recipe posted somewhere, perhaps it was in a column in a newspaper or something. You might even email them and ask for the recipe. Worst thing would be they might say no or not respond. You might get lucky.

Your favorite plant identifier app?

I've yet to see any sort of plant ID app with the routine consistency of accurate identifications as what is offered here on the Name That Plant forum. There are some remarkably skilled participants there and extremely fast as well.

Google "MS Word Templates", or "Open Office Templates" (assuming a Win platform and that you use one of these two programs), then on the resulting web page, search for "Newsletter".

Newsletter templates (pre-formatted files you fill in with your own text) are numerous and free from the repositories the Google search takes you to.

Thanks everybody! When I had searched before I was finding everything from pre-school to landscaping, but nothing that would 'fit'. I am either using the HP Mini /win Xperia starter, or an Ipad3. There might be apps for the Ipad, but I have not found one I can use yet.Thx
