| Newsletter Ideas Our church currently uses Publisher for the newsletter. We are thinking of redesigning a bit. The people doing the work would be using Macs. Any recommendations on Mac compadible software for the switch? Can Photoshop be effectively used for Newsletters? Thanks! David   |

| InDesign I would strongly recommend InDesign for your newsletter. I have been using InDesign for the last several years (ever since switching to Macs ... I used Pagemaker on the PC before that). You really need the text handling features of InDesign (flowing text around graphics, for example) + multiple page capabilities etc etc. I am not currently doing our church newsletter (church "politics" getting in the way so no newsletter right now - thats a prayer request I should post separately) but I have attached a sample from this past June's issue. Hope that helps you see some of the capabilities of InDesign. |

| In Design Been doing church publications for 25 yrs now and found the Adobe products to be more than enough to do a newsletter. Used Pagemaker for years and now use InDesign. Next to Photoshop I'd have a tough time without it. I use many transparent PSD artwork and import into InDesign maintaining transparency. Plus it saves as a PDF (Great to archive or put on website. You can even design web related pages and import into Adobe GoLive for animated web site. For a Mac user, I personally think it's the best desktop design software going. |

| Thanks for the advise, and the newsletter attached. I have attached our current newsletter, to give you an idea of what we're doing as is. Unfortunately, we don't have indesign; so we have to look at using what we have, or trying something that can be worked in budget next year. I think we'll look at ipage, we have a trial, and if it works, it is an inexpensive program. Thanks again! Quote:
