Isn't that what we're trying to accomplish here? :) I mean, it would be
wonderful if we get an editor with HTML/DHTML/JAVA/etc expertise... but then
they'd have to edit both an online page and a newsletter. If we gt someone
who simply knows how to use >any< application that can create the
newsletter, with acrobat, they can easily post it on the web. And since so
many folks use acrobat anyways, most people have it installed.
