[stylist] Ideas about Newsletter please?

[Donna Hill]

Azizza,
If you use Word 2003 or later, you can insert pictures using the Insert 
menu.  In Jaws, Alt I to Insert, down arrow (about nine times ) to 
Picture submenu, right arrow to open and then down arrow to "From file" 
and enter.  You then select the photo or whatever that you have in your 
files like you would choose something for an attachment or to save in a 
specific folder.  This puts that picture in your Word doc at the point 
of the cursor.  I don't know, however, how to change the positioning or 
size of the picture.  Perhaps, you can get someone to do that part for 
you.  I'm trying to format a three-fold brochure and I would like to be 
able to reduce the size of the picture to get more text in the column 
and haven't sorted that out yet.

Also, I would suggest a larger font for your Title lines for each 
section and perhaps making them boldface.  You could make a fancy over 
all title for the newsletter by making that font even bigger and perhaps 
using "engraved" in the font menu.  Don't get too fancy with the font 
type, however, you want people to understand it.  Transfering it into an 
e mail changes some things, if you'll be doing that.  The photos seem to 
get left aligned instead of centered as in Word.  I would definitely 
enlist sighted assistance at least to get started.
Good luck,
Donna
