Add Your Content to the Newsletter

To add stories to your newsletter, select the placeholder text and then type in the newsletter. Or copy a story from another document and paste it into the newsletter, replacing the placeholder text.

When working in the newsletter, you might notice that some of the text is enclosed in text boxes. Text boxes allow you to start a story on any page and continue it wherever you want, as long as it’s in the same document. For more information, see Text Boxes for “Desktop Publishing” Effects.
