E-mailing Your Greeting Card

You can save your card and attach it to your e-mail.  However, the way you save your card will make a difference to your recipient.

The fool-proof way to send your card is to attach either JPGs or GIFs.  To create these, you export each page of the card.  Name the files in number order so the recipient sees them in the proper order, e.g. the front of the card should be named, "1.jpg".

Avoid saving as EXE format.  Most e-mail programs will not accept this file format as it is the most common format for computer viruses.

Animated greetings should be saved as SWF format.  Recipients can open a SWF file with their web browser.

Don't attach your project file, i.e. HCR or CAR as these file formats can only be opened with a Broderbund program such as PrintMaster, The Print Shop and Scrapbook Designer.
