Do you have a website?

What format are your documents?

How's tomorrow?

Not knowing what software you have, I'll assume that you at least have Microsoft Office. Create your flyer in Powerpoint, save it as a PNG (or GIF if the graphics are cartoon-like or JPG if it is more photographic looking). Upload it to Photobucket (or whatever image posting website you like), then in your post in SoWal click the Insert Image icon (looks like mountains) and type the URL/address of the photo.

Or... you could create one on Word, and use multiple columns! Just how many meals were you intending to give away?

HTML and BBcode are universal.

Can you just open the file you have of the menus, copy it, and then paste it into Sowal?

Or attach a pdf of the document.

If it's text, yes, but the fonts will not render exactly. But if it contains images, you can't do it by copying and pasting. A pdf would work, but it wouldn't look as good because it wouldn't be inline like this [ame="http://www.sowal.com/bb/showpost.php?p=503706&postcount=19"]SoWal Beaches Forum - View Single Post - Thanksgiving dinner possibilities[/ame] .

Yet in his initial post he states that he is very qualified to operate one. I'm am with you SJ. Never had an interest in Macs. Chose to believe in Jesus instead.

I think my questions were pretty easy to answer. The answers are the 1st step in getting help from me.

If you will email me what you want to post I will be happy to do it for you.
