[stylist] Ideas about Newsletter please?

[Shelley J. Alongi]

Adding pictures to your newsletter is a great idea. So far there doesn't 
seem to be any screen reading program that deals with the insertion of 
pictures it's a great field for exploration. I always get help when 
inserting pictures into any of my newsletters. If you know where you want 
the picture to be have someone help position the piture on the screen. My 
biggest piece of advice when formatting a document including a newsletter is 
to write all the text first without paragraph breaks, bolding, etc. When the 
final edit is done then add the codes. It saves a big headache when trying 
to edit writing if there are codes in the way pushing words where you don't 
want them.

I always format a newsletter like this, a blank line between the title of 
the article and the beginning of it. The title is usually in All Caps or 
bolded. I try to keep my formatting simple to minimize my own headaches. Do 
what you're comfortable with and make the newsletter a team effort.
Also leave a blank line between the end of an article and the beginning of 
the next one. If you double space the letter you don't need to insert blank 
lines. They appear automatically.

> Thanks,
