This page documents how we create the newsletter each month. ===Overview=== * We create the newsletter in Google Docs * We sent the newsletter from Google Mail It's a two step procedure because * you can't create really beautifully formatted items in Google Mail * this allows you to add to the Newsletter during the month, reducing the amount of work at the last minute and * you can work collaboratively on the newsletter (by Google sharing the "Stage 1" document with anyone with a Google account) and * The document is available on any computer you can log in to and automatically backed up. ===Open The Document=== * Go to docs.google.com * Open "Elderberries Newsletter Stage 1" ===Fonts=== * Article Title: Arial 18 Blue (top row in the colour picker) * Main Text: Arial 11 or 12 * To reset a chunk of text to Arial 11, highlight it and click "Normal Text" and again, "Normal Text" ===To Add A Photo=== * Open the photo with any photo editing software * Select All * Copy * Go to "Elderberries Newsletter Stage 1" * Click in the cell where you want the graphic * Paste * Click on the photo to show its handles * Drag the handles to resize the photo. ===Adding An Article=== * Click inside one of the cells * Under Format --> Table you have options to insert rows, delete rows etc.
