Attachments
Be sure to include any attachments like logos or photos.
* Sending attachments. Please send attachments only for photographs or artwork. Generally do not alter the original photograph that you send. If the photos are over 3 megabytes each, split them up and send in separate e-mails to us.
Attachments in Word and other programs.
Because there are dozens of word processing packages used by hundreds of computer users it is unreasonable to expect us to be able to open all attachments. We can’t. Therefore, for the text of an ad, copy and paste the entire message(s) from your computer screen and then paste it into a simple e-mail message as if you were going to write us a letter: Dear Provost News, Here is the text of my ad: (that then follows). Then follow up with us to make sure we have all of the material you have sent us.
