This might be a bit far removed from being a Publisher problem but I'm =
hoping someone can help.

I'm the editor of a newsletter for a seniors' social group and have =
received rave reviews since I started using Publisher. Typically, I =
convert to a pdf file and email it to members.=20

However, about 25% of them don't have computers and/or email and are =
positively phobic about them so I send the pdf file to the local Office =
Depot and they Xerox copy it into a booklet. The quality is horrible, =
particularly pictures and block colours. I cringe because it looks =
beautiful on my monitor and when I print it on my colour printer.

I know that pictures don't Xerox well but wonder if there is *anythhing* =
I can do before sending it for copying that will improve the quality of =
the copied newsletter?

If this is a black and white Xerox you could try printing a greyscale PDF
rather than full colour. Most likely they are printing in greyscale for
you, but it's conceivable that they aren't.

Take the file, as it is, of your Publisher document on a diskette or CD. =
They should be able to print copies for you in full, glorious color. I =
use Office Max for the very same thing. A bit pricey, but you'll be =
happy. If Office Depot cannot print the Publisher file, convert to PDF =
and take that along as well.
