• Click on the link at the top of the page to open the "Complete Adobe Newsletter." Save it to your computer. When you are ready to do your newsletter ....
• On the front page:
  • Replace the "Letterhead" with one of your own - "West Pine News," "Forum Focus," "Marysville Times," etc.
  • Type the information about your community/company in the line below the header - address, phone number, etc.
• Go to the mailing label on page 4. Replace our sample text with your return and mailing addresses. If you have bulk mail information, add it to the postage box.
• Optional - add your own articles:
  • Click in the textbox on the right-hand column of each page. Replace our title and text with an article that meets your particular needs. Note: To accommodate a variety of articles, not all the boxes are the same size. The front-page textbox is the largest.
  • Replace just one article or the articles on all 4 pages.
• Print copies from your computer. Tip: If your pages seem to shrink when you print them, make sure that the "shrink to fit" box on your print options is not checked.

• Note: If you do not have Adobe Writer on your computer, be prepared to print your newsletter before you close the file. Your computer will not save your changes, and it will open again as the original newsletter.
• You cannot change the font style or make fonts bold or italic. We suggest you use ALL CAPITALS if you want to emphasize text.
• The font will automatically decrease to fit the box, which might make it too small. To avoid this, adjust your article or select another box. Not all of the editable boxes are the same size.
• You cannot add clip art or images to the Adobe newsletters.

• Large-print newsletter. The program is set to font size 14 for a larger print newsletter.
• Add all your own articles without disturbing the format. You can enter information in all the text boxes on all the pages. There are different sizes of boxes for different articles.
• The limitations. Just as with the Complete Adobe Newsletter, you cannot save your changes unless you have Adobe Writer. Also, you cannot change fonts or add clip art. Unlike the Complete Newsletter, the font will not automatically shrink to fit the box. If you use too many words, the text will drop off the top of the column. Therefore, check closely when you are at the end of your text. These instructions are on the first page of the Newsletter as a reminder.

• You can save your work to your computer even if you don't have Adobe Writer. (Assumes you have MS Word or similar program.)
• You can edit or add your own articles, clip art and pictures.
• You can change font sizes and styles.
• All of the articles and clip art are in textboxes so that they can easily be rearranged.
