- Paste the text in using the 'Paste from Word' button in the toolbar

- Change any formatting to make the online version of the Newsletter look good
- Attach the PDF version of the newsletter using the naming convention NZKM-Newsletter-April-2009.pdf, i.e. no spaces in the filename

When it's all looking good, select the 'Send Newsletter' option
