[Psml] "What We Do" Brochure

[Barclay M. Thomas]

Phil and All,
While MS Publisher may be a part of the complete WINDOWS version of  
MS Office, it is completely unsupported on the Macintosh (or any  
other) operating system.

Believe me we, as Mac, etc. users, are quite accommodating and can  
and do usually convert the various and sundry Windows files into  
something we can deal with. Opening PDFs is never a problem but  
modifying them, as is needed in this case, can sometimes be a grand  
hassle. Adobe Reader will not allow major changes to be made, so one  
must have either Adobe Acrobat (the original 'creation' program) or  
be able to convert the document into a different format (MS Word for  
instance). There are programs to do that, but that entails spending  
additional money (I do not know of a free program that can do the job  
acceptably, but there may be one) and often results in a file that  
still needs a lot of work to clean up.

That being said, I have begun the de-construction of the flyer and  
will re-create it into, probably, a PDF document with text/image  
boxes that can be filled with the end user's own choice of logo,  
data, pictures, etc.

But this project will take a back seat to finishing two websites, a  
new squadron logo for PR purposes, and a monthly town newspaper (all  
volunteer efforts by the way).

Just my take on the situation, I don't wish to get into a Mac vs.  
Windows discussion either, that's like the Nikon vs. Canon or Colt  
vs. S&W thing ;>)
