They look exactly the way they were sent out. (Formatting, fonts,
colours, indentations, etc.) They are, therefore, easier to read for those of you
whose email programs accept text only.
They can be searched by names and
key words or phrases (ctrl F in the IBM world and Apple F for Mac users). For
example: you might want to find your own item in an issue quickly, or any item for
which you know the submitter’s name, or you might want to search for all items
containing a specific word such as ”workshop.”
If you want/need to copy an item from
the PDF an issue and paste it into another document or an email (ie re-submitting an
item to me) simply click on the “Select” tool in your the Adobe Reader Window that is
displaying the newsletter and then highlight and copy the desired text.
