    Hiya guys, I am trying to figure out how to create a good sort of news letter to send out to members of the football club I run.

    Can anyone give me some information on what software is best and how easy is it to do.

    Thanks in advance
    Bobby

    Can you pay for some or do you want free software? I would recommend Adobe Acrobat personally.

    For ease of use, try Microsoft Publisher.

    Do you mean software to design the newsletter graphics etc? Or to actually send out the mails?

    What exactly do you want

    • Send out a printed newsletter by post
      For this I use Microsoft Publisher 2007. Its pretty easy and I already owned it.
    • Send an electronic news letter
      I do this in two ways, for one list I used the save as PDF function of Publisher and send them the same as the printed newsletter just as an email attachment. For another I send HTML emails.
    • A way to manage a email mailing list
    • A way to manage a postal mailing list
      For this and the email list I just use a small Access database, although as the list grows larger it does become harder and harder to manage.

    For either the printed or e-newsletter I found the hardest part was getting a template together, once I had a template I liked and was comfortable with putting the whole thing together isnt that difficult, although sometimes trying to get content out of people is bloody difficult.
