I tried, but I guess her file was in a newer version than came on my computer, so I couldn't even open it with the Publisher on my machine.
Thank you Microsoft.

To be "fair" to MS (not that they need it at all), Publisher isn't really aimed at professionals . . . Adobe's products are pretty much the industry standard, and the MS products are more aimed toward your everyday joe putting together a newsletter for the junior league or little league.

Your point is a good one. Actually, I've used Publisher for personal stuff and don't really have a problem with it, but my professional daughter has nothing good to say about it.
It does drive me a little crazy that newer programs with the same names as older ones have no downward compatibility.
I guess it's one way to sell new software.

A free PDF writer is Cute PDF. You also have to download a prerequisite called GhostWriter. Google it and you'll find them. As lifesaver said, it shows up as a printer so you select Print, choose Cute PDF and it prompts you for a file name.

Primo PDF is the best one I've found. http://primopdf.com/

Yeah.. it was fairly easy to use. I customized a template and it actually turned out really nice.
I haven't done a newsletter in a few years because my free-color-printing source dried up.
