Is it possible to create and use eflyers in Xara WD and what's the process to follow?

Hello Paul,

The short answer is yes. I do not know of a "native" way of doing it within WDP--and I don't have it to test. But it can be done with a little bit of a hassle and as far as I know, requires the use of IE to make it work, as well as a Windows email client such as Outlook or Windows Live Mail (which is what is on this laptop).

Here's a page I did as a test for someone else recently:

Using IE, one needs to choose to email the page. Once in the email, you can use blind carbon-copy for your email recipients. That said, some of the services can do this for not much and there use to be free services.

Take care, Mike

Sending out unsolicited email flyers can get you into a lot of trouble, that's what anti spam laws are all about. You really should use a service for this. I use Mailchimp.com they have a Forever Free account that gives access to almost everything that their paid accounts have. You also have tools to automate your lists and forms. You can create your graphics with Xara and easily import them into your mail chimp e-mails. You can easily by taking note of colour numbers from Xara's colour editor match the colours in your Mailchimp emails to your Xara created website. MailChimp provides you with the code for your sign up form which you can easily embed in your site via a placeholder.

You can go the professional way and sign up with Aweber for just $1: http://www.aweber.com/

Frances is just trying to goad you into doing your promised How to embed a website in an e-mail message tutorial.

I can't believe Frances could do such a thing. You're becoming cynical in your (very) old age...
