PM 17 - e-mailing Animated Greeting - 5/18/2007 6:58:06 AM    Robertj   Posts: 2 Joined: 5/17/2007 Status: offline When I send an Animated Greeting via e-mail the recipients are unable to open the attachment as it is in .exe What can I do tht would allow them to open the attachment? Hopefully someone could give me a 'walk through' on this one (ie open this, click on this and then do this) Operating System is Win XP Pro Print Master is Gold Ver. 17 < Message edited by Brandy redux -- 6/14/2007 11:08:38 PM > Post #: 1

RE: e-mailing Print Master - 5/18/2007 9:45:39 AM    ellengard Posts: 3253 Joined: 10/2/2006 Status: offline Hello, Robert. There are several different ways to make a e-greeting for e-mailing. The first is what you are trying to do - send an exe file. To get past security, you can rename card.exe to card.doc by right-clicking the filename then selecting Rename from the list of choices. Then attach the card.doc to your e-mail. Big drawback to this: Your recipient has to save card.doc, rename it back to card.exe, scan it with the virus program*, and then can finally play it. *unless the recipient is convinced that you created this exe from scratch with a reputable card-making program and did not get it from somewhere else from where its creator put a virus in it. In my opinion, most recipients would rather just delete the e-mail than go through this aggravation. So here are the other options for making easy-to-view e-mails. Please choose the one that you'd like to do. * create a PDF that can be viewed with Adobe Reader. * create JPGs that open automatically in the e-mail program. * create a webpage that you e-mail the link to. Only the webpage can contain animated effects. If you need examples to help you make your choice, let me know. < Message edited by ellengard -- 5/18/2007 9:47:22 AM > (in reply to Robertj) Post #: 2
