DW CS5.5 can do almost anything that you can think of provided you have the expertise and knowledge of HTML and CSS with some PHP and/or ASP.
If you want something out of the box then your best bet is to start with WordPress, Jumla and/or Drupal that has many themes, templates and plugins to get you going quickly. Some of them are free and they are very good indeed.
You can see here what you can do with not only DW but with a knowledge of HTML and CSS3:

The above picture is drawn using nothing but CSS3.
Good luck.

Sending an email when order is placed
I need to send an email notifying the website owner whenever
an order is placed. What would be the best option? And how would
this be done?
ASP/VBScript
SQL Server 2005Depends on how you have your store setup, but after the
payment has been verified, maybe the user is directed to a sucess
page or something, that is where you would send your email. You can
do a google search for a mail script to taylor to your needs.
Or if the orders are stored in a DB, then just give the owner
an admin page to check the status of orders. -
The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so.

SharePoint Foundation 2013 installed on Windows Server 2012 not sending out email notification
I have a server where i installed SP Foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2012. I have configured the SMTP as well as the outgoing SMTP in Central Administration
of SharePoint. When i create an alert on a document library, its did not sent any email notification on the changes made to the document in the document library. So, i created a workflow to send out email using SPD2013. The workflow run, but it cannot sent
out email with error saying that outgoing email is not configured correctly. I have checked with another server which i installed SP foundation 2013 on top of Windows Server 2008 R2 - its sending out email just fine using same configuration and outgoing SMTP.
I need help to resolve this issue or at least the cause of the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Try below:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13771.troubleshooting-steps-for-sharepoint-alert-email-does-not-go-out.aspx
Go to Central Admin ---->Operations----->outgoing email settings and verify that SMTP server is mentioned correctly
2) Test the connectivity with the SMTP server.
In order to do that follow these steps:
Open cmd
telnet <SMTP server name> 25 ( We connect smtp server to the port 25)
you should see a response like this 220 <servername> Microsoft ESMTP MAIL Service, Version: 6.0.3790.3959 ready at date and time
Beware that different servers will come up with different settings but you will get something
If you dont get anything then there could be 2 possible reasons, either port 25 is blocked or
the smtp server is not responding.
For testing response from your server
For testing response say ehlo to it.
Type :
ehlo <servername>
output:
250 <servername> Hello [IP Address]
Now a test mail can be sent from that SharePoint server.
Now we need to enter the From address of the mail.
Type :
mail from: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.0 [email protected]….Sender OK
It's time to enter the recepient email address.
Type : rcpt to: [email protected]
output:
250 2.1.5 [email protected]
Now we are left with the data of the email. i.e. subject and body.
Type : data
output:
354 Start mail input; end with <CRLF>.<CRLF>
Type:
subject: this is a test mail
Hi
This is test mail body
I am testing SMTP server.
Hit Enter, then . and then Enter.
output:
250 2.6.0 <<servername>C8wSA00000006@<servername>> Queued mail for delivery
Type: quit
output:
221 2.0.0 <servername> Service closing transmission channe
3) Check alerts are enabled for your web application
verify if the windows timer service is running or not.
Run this stsadm command to check that
Stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL -pn alerts-enabled
This should return <Property Exist="Yes" Value="yes" />
If you don’t get this, Enable alerts by:
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn alerts-enabled -pv "true" -url http://SharePoint-web-App-URL
If its already enabled, try turn off and turn on it back.
4) Check the Timer job and Properties
Go to
MOSS 2007: Central Administration > Operations > Timer Job Definitions (under Global Configuration)
In SharePoint 2010: Central Administration > Monitoring > Review Job Definitions
Check whether the "Immediate Alerts" job is enabled for your web application. check these properties:
job-immediate-alerts
job-daily-alerts
job-weekly-alerts
stsadm.exe -o getproperty -url "http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL" -pn job-immediate-alerts
The expected output is:
<Property Exist="Yes" Value="every 5 minutes between 0 and 59"/>.
If you don’t get this, run the following command to set its value.
stsadm.exe -o setproperty -pn job-immediate-alerts -pv “every 5 minutes between 0 and 59" -url http://Your-SharePoint-web-App-URL
5) Check whether the account is subscribed for alerts and it has a valid email account. This should be the first thing to check if the problem persists for some users not for all.
6) Then check if at all those users have at least read permission for the list. Because the first mail should go out for every user without security validation but the next ones won't be delivered unless the user has at least read
permission.
7) If it is happening for one user, can also try to delete and re add the user in the site.
8) Most importantly , you should try this one.
Run this SQL query to the content db < Select * from Timerlock>
This will give you the name of the server which is locking the content database and since when.
In order to get rid of that lock
Go to that server which is locking the content db and then restart the windows timer service.
within some time it should release the lock from content db, if not then at the most stop the timer job for some time
Once the lock will be released then try to send some alerts
You will surely get the email alert.
I found this is the most probable reason for alert not working most of the time. We should start troubleshooting with above steps before coming to this step for any alert email issue but from step 1 to step 7 are best for new environments or new servers.
If the issue is like this ,alert was working before and suddenly stopped working without any environmental change then above conditions in step 1-7 should be ideally fine.
Even after this if it is not working, then you can try these few more steps too
9) Try re-registering the alert template:
stsadm -o updatealerttemplates -url http://Your-SharePoint-Web-App-URL -f "c:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\12\TEMPLATE\XML\alerttemplates.xml" -LCID 1033
10) Try to clear the configuration cache

Sending multiple email for free goods item category??
Hi,
we have requirement to send email (Z report in smartforms) automatically when sale order save in tcode VA01/VA02.
we made reqd config in tcode NACE and we set access sequence on ORDER TYPE and it's working fine. but the problem is that when order booked for item category free goods it sends multiple emails. (i.e. no. of line items = no. of email) for one order no. All other item category is working fine. only problem with the free goods.
I am an abaper. all config are made with the consent of SD consultant.
pls help.
thanks
Radhashyam Sahoo.If you are an ABAPer, then it sounds like you simply need to debug the processing to identify where/why the fault occurs. As for the NACE settings, you should understand the config as well as your functional counterpart. It will make you a better developer and help you understand the processing code.

I am having trouble sending bulk emails from a Mail Group (less than 100 at a time) on my gmail account. They come back saying the server can't recognize the data and try again with selected server or try later or edit message, all of which I have attempted a number of times, including re-booting the computer. I am wondering if there is something wrong in my Address Book? I have check Apple Preferences, and Mail Preferences and all seems in order. I can send to any of the individual addresses, but not in a group.
Thanks for your help.Install ClamXav and run a scan with that. It should pick up any trojans.

Sending an email via mailto: URLs
Hi all,
is it possible (and how! :) ) to send an email from within a JAva application using the 'mailto:' URL in order to use the locally installed email client?
What I need is to be able to use the local mail client to send an email with an attached file and a return receipt from within my app.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
Luca.Since you want the return receipt, then you have to have a place for that return receipt to be returned to. If you are just "bouncing" a mail off of another application, you do not have a return path to recieve the receipt.
The "bouncing" mail off of the local client is not doable with the mailto--if you try a mailto link it opens your local client with a pre-addressed mail (if you are lucky).
You need to use the Java Mail API. -
Sending an Email with a cursor that returns multiple fields.
I was investigating about sending emails from apex, and I'd like to know if you can help me, I need to send an Email report with multiple fields, I m using this code :
DECLARE
CURSOR c1 is
select id,gk,creation_date,sr_count,issue_notes,sr_impacted,oldest_creation_date
from gk_report where id = (select max(id) from gk_report);
reg c1%ROWTYPE;
begin
IF (c1%ISOPEN = TRUE) THEN
CLOSE c1;
END IF;
OPEN c1;
FETCH c1 INTO reg;
CLOSE c1;
APEX_MAIL.send(
p_to => '[email protected]',
p_from => '[email protected]',
p_body => 'Hourly GK Log',
p_body_html =>
'GK: '||to_char(reg.gk)||'<br>
CREATION DATE: '||to_char(reg.CREATION_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')||'<br>
SR COUNT: '||to_char(reg.SR_COUNT)||'<br>
ISSUE NOTES: '||to_char(reg.ISSUE_NOTES)||'<br>
SRs IMPACTED: '||to_char(reg.SR_IMPACTED)||'<br>
OLDEST CREATION DATE: '||to_char(reg.OLDEST_CREATION_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
p_SUBJ => 'Hourly GK Log: ' || to_char(reg.CREATION_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
p_cc => NULL,
p_bcc => NULL ,
p_replyto => NULL

In this code there is a cursor that returns just one field, But what about if the cursor returns multiple fields, How can I insert a Loop into this code.?

Problem by Sending an Email with attached Adobe Interactive Form (Code)
Thanks. I have written Programm, but it does not work as i want it to do. I will send an Email with attached Adobe Interactive Firm to [email protected]. I tried it with "*lo_recipient = cl_sapuser_bcs=>create( sy-uname )" at the marked(bold, fat) position. It worked but the Email was send to my SAP-Account, but i want to send to [email protected], so I tried this (see at code in bold, fat):
lo_rec TYPE adr6-smtp_addr VALUE '[email protected]'. " Empfänger Receiver
lo_recipient = cl_cam_address_bcs=>create_internet_address( lo_rec ).
But it doens`t send the email.

My mother used to be the bill payer on my iTunes account so now every time I send an email from my iCloud account it sent with her name, how can I change the settings so emails are sent from myself?
I've changed the bill payer to myself but it stills says on emails that I sent that its from my mother.In order for the "From" field to show you options on the "from" addresses available, you must set them up in the Preferences > Accounts first.
I can't show you a screen shot of the from field because I currently only have one account, so the from address used is the default. However, when I had more than one, then options will show up in your compose/reply window.
You'd need to add an account here: -

Introduction
There is a scenario that the data in the report changes infrequently, so the users want to be informed and get the most updated data once the data changes. By default, report server always run the report with the most recent data. Is there a way that we
can subscribe the report, so that we can send an email to users when the data in the report has been changed?
Solution
To achieve this requirement, we can create a subscription for the report, then create a trigger in the table which including the report data. When this table has data insert, update or delete, it will be triggered and execute the subscription to send email
to users.
In the Report Manager, create a subscription for the report and make it only execute one time.
When we create a subscription, a corresponding SQL Agent job will be created. Then we can use the query below to find out the job based on ScheduleId:
-- List all SSRS subscriptions
USE [ReportServer]; -- You may change the database name.
GO
SELECT USR.UserName AS SubscriptionOwner
,SUB.ModifiedDate
,SUB.[Description]
,SUB.EventType
,SUB.DeliveryExtension
,SUB.LastStatus
,SUB.LastRunTime
,SCH.NextRunTime
,SCH.Name AS ScheduleName
,RS.ScheduleId
,CAT.[Path] AS ReportPath
,CAT.[Description] AS ReportDescription
FROM dbo.Subscriptions AS SUB
INNER JOIN dbo.Users AS USR
ON SUB.OwnerID = USR.UserID
INNER JOIN dbo.[Catalog] AS CAT
ON SUB.Report_OID = CAT.ItemID
INNER JOIN dbo.ReportSchedule AS RS
ON SUB.Report_OID = RS.ReportID
AND SUB.SubscriptionID = RS.SubscriptionID
INNER JOIN dbo.Schedule AS SCH
ON RS.ScheduleID = SCH.ScheduleID
ORDER BY USR.UserName
,SUB.ModifiedDate ;
Create a trigger in the table which including the report data.
CREATE TRIGGER reminder
ON test.dbo.users
AFTER INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE
AS
exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
Please note that the command ‘exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'’ is coming from the job properties. We can go to SQL Server Agent Jobs, right-click the corresponding job to open
the Steps, copy the step command, and then paste it to the query.
Then when the user table has data insert, update or delete, the trigger will be triggered and execute the subscription to send email to users.

Is this a supported scenario, or does it use unsupported features?
For example, can we call exec [ReportServer].dbo.AddEvent @EventType='TimedSubscription', @EventData='b64ce7ec-d598-45cd-bbc2-ea202e0c129d'
in a supported way?

I need to send this email now!
My story starts wih me trying to scan a picture from the printer to my computer. The printer scans: Photo to email. After ten minutes a new message window pops up with the scanned picture in it. I tried to copy it and paste it into my other email so that I could send it from there and thats when I started having problems. The computer started freezing up with the rainbow swirl. I tried to just send it from the origanal pop up email window, although it kept buffering and wouldn't let me send it. After at least 9 hours now I still can't send it! My computer is not buffering as much after I restarted it, but it still won't send the email with the picture! The email is in is in my outbox and each time I try to send it it just ends up in my outbox again! I've tried this multiple times already! I tried to just send an email to my iPod that just says: "Hi." ,but that won't work either! I need to send the email by the end of today because the contest ends today! It is for an art contest! Please help! I am only thirteen so if you try to explain and help me please don't try to use complicated words!
Thank you so much!Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
This will take a while to read.
A very VERY long while.
That's good, because in the meantime, your computer MIGHT fix itself and the email MIGHT send successfully.
I know, I know you have this contest deadline...
I. First things first.
If there is an adult (parent, grandparent, teacher, nanny, caregiver, or college student) nearby, ask them for help.
Now.
Even if they CLAIM to know nothing about computers.
They probably know a little SOMETHING about computers.
That might even be helpful.
Ask them.
Now.
II. Second, IF POSSIBLE print this whole message thread before continuing.
Now.
WHY?
At some point you're probably going to turn your computer off, or at least quit the Safari browser app, (the one you're using right now to read this information), and then you won't be able to read these instructions to know what to do next until you turn the computer back on and re-open the Safari browser and return to Apple Support Communities and find this message again.
If it doesn't print, don't panic.
If there is another computer or iPad or iPod touch or iPhone or other smartphone nearby, locate this message thread Apple Support Communities in the browser: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4165033?tstart=0
If not, don't panic. You will probably be able to print later.
III. So what is the problem?
A. The 'rainbow swirl' as you call it (I call it a 'beachball'), most often happens when the computer gets really REALLY low on free RAM memory. RAM is the electronic memory chips located inside your computer. Those computer chips lose all their information when the computer power is turned off, IF the information isn't saved onto the hard disk first.
To make more RAM memory available the first thing is to quit any other running apps that you don't need right now in your system Dock at the bottom of the screen.
For example, if you have iChat or iMessage running, and Mail, and iTunes, and Safari, and iPhoto and your printer/scanner app, all you really need in order to scan and send your picture is your printer/scanner app, and Mail. So you can 'quit' all the other apps running.
Command+click-ing (also known as 'right-clicking' if that option is enabled on your mouse or trackpad) on the running App icon in the dock will bring up the option to Quit.
If the app is open on your screen, Command+Q will 'Quit' any app. If the app asks if you want to save unsaved information, choose 'Yes' to be certain that you're not deleting important information.
If an app is 'stuck' (spinning rainbow swirly thing), the option MIGHT be available to 'Force Quit'.
Quit all the other apps you don't need first.
Do NOT Force Quit any apps just yet.
B. It's possible that you are (also) very VERY short of hard disk space. That's the mechanical drive inside your computer that stores your Apps and your music and your pictures and emails and lots of other 'computer stuff' important to how your computer runs, magnetically, so you can bring it back later. It is where your apps are stored and your 'stuff' is saved.
You think you MIGHT be able to erase some files to make more space available, but that's very VERY risky if you don't know what you're doing, so I don't recommend THAT.
First, see how much free hard disk space you DO have available. Open Finder (the 'face' icon probably located in the system Dock at the lower left corner of your screen, and click on your hard disk drive name in the upper left column. (It's probably called 'Macintosh HD')
At the very bottom of the Finder window there should be two numbers, one showing some number of items (not important) and another number showing how much hard disk space is available (important!):
If you have less that 15.00 GB available, you are very short of hard disk space.
That makes your system run slow or very slow, and can cause 'rainbow swirls' even if everything else is working correctly. We cannot do much about that right now if you're almost out of hard disk space.
You will need some adult help to decide what could be erased to make more space available.
If you share the computer with a parent or sibling, it's very risky to start deleting stuff.
So don't delete anything now.
C. It's possible that the file size of your scan exceeds the allowable maximum file size your email account can handle and has things all jammed up. On Hotmail.com, for example, the upper limit is 2.0MB (megabytes). Apple Mail (iCloud, .me or .mac) seem not to have that limitation.
You said it took '10 minutes' to scan your picture. That sounds like your picture is scanned at a very VERY high resolution: 1200 or 2400 or 4800 or even 9600 dpi (dots per inch).
That's great for working at home and for retouching photographs and for professional artists, but most likely, it is much MUCH too large to email to your contest.
300dpi is probably a good maximum number for email. Check the contest instructions. They might want some other smaller number like 72dpi (internet web images) or 96dpi (Windows on-screen displays)
A high dpi number means the scanned image takes up a LOT of space in RAM memory and when stored on your hard disk.
That also means that it would take a very VERY long time to send that scanned file in email, although 9 hours is probably way WAY longer than it should take.
D. READ THIS ONLY IF YOU ARE USING A "DIAL-UP TELEPHONE MODEM" to connect to the Internet.
(Your adult should be able to help you determine this):
A dial-up connection typically sends and receives information at up to 56Kbits per second.
Most people have something faster today.
On my DSL internet account (pardon a bit of technical jargon, it's 3.0Mbit downloading (me downloading a music file from iTunes) and 512Kbit uploading (me sending a picture via email), sending one 2.0MB file can take 5 to 15 minutes. Sending the same 2.0GB file on a 56Kbps dial-up modem could easily take almost 10 times longer, or 50 minutes, up to maybe 2.5 hours. But that's still nowhere close to 9 hours.
IV. OK. Got it. But my computer is still sitting there with spinning rainbow swirlies, and I have this contest deadline quickly approaching...
What do I do to SOLVE this problem and get my picture emailed today???
A. You've 'Quit' every unnecessary application?
The only ones left should be the printer/scanner app, and Mail.
Sometimes, that frees enough memory for things to begin working 'normally' again.
So,while reading all of this, has your spinning rainbow swirly stopped and the computer returned to somewhat 'normal' function?
YES - Check your Mail, Sent folder to see that your message finally got sent.
Is your message with the picture in there?
YES - Great. Problem solved. Have a great day. And next time, don't wait until the last minute to submit contest entries!
NO? Check Mail, Outbox folder (Outbox is only visible and has a number showing IF there is something in the process of being sent, but not completed yet.)
Is it in the Outbox?
YES - It could be 'stuck'. You'll probably have to Force Quit the Mail program. That still MIGHT NOT clear your 'stuck' email with the email provider program though.
B. Were you able to Force Quit all remaining programs?
YES - Great. Now it's time to click , Restart.
That will clear memory and reset things to get ready to try again.
NO - If Force Quit doesn't work, then it's time for more drastic action:
C. It's time turn the computer OFF.
Why?
Because there's likely other no way available to you to 'fix' what's still 'stuck'.
WARNING: Turning the computer OFF shuts down EVERYTHING, and throws away ALL unsaved information in all apps that are still running but 'stuck'.
THAT DOES SOUND DRASTIC!!!
It is. But you have this contest deadline...
D. If the adult you have nearby is NOT comfortable with you doing this, then STOP!!!
You're going to miss your contest deadline.
It isn't the end of the world.
You're thirteen.
There will be other contests and other opportunities.
You're done until someone who IS comfortable helping you is there with you.
Sorry.
E. With your Adult's permission to turn off the computer, and with them standing or sitting next to you, hold down the computer power button for up to 10 seconds, until the computer screen goes black and the computer shuts off completely.
WHEW!
Take a deep breath.
Tell your adult to start breathing again, too.
(Blue adults passed out on the floor from a lack of oxygen aren't nearly as helpful as breathing ones.)
V. OK. Now what? I still have this contest deadline and now I have XX minutes less because I've been following your long drawn-out instructions.
HELP!
A. Turn the computer back on.
B. Wait for everything to come back up, and then log back in as you usually do.
C. If you have a lot of programs set to start automatically, like iMessage or FaceTime or iChat or Safari or Mail...
Use Command+Q to 'Quit' all of them NOW.
Why?
They all take available memory from the two programs you probably REALLY need at this point:
1. Your printer/scanner and
2. Mail, and
3. maybe Safari, if you need to refer to these instructions again. Now you should be able to PRINT them, if you couldn't do that before
If Safari normally opens with a WHOLE BUNCH (3 or more) of Tabs opening things like Twitter and Facebook and Instagram and Google and...
Close EVERY open Safari tab except 1.
D. Next, check to see if your printer/scanner app has saved your previous scan.
I can't tell you how to do this, because I don't know what software you're running. Sorry.
E. If you KNOW the filename**, locate your saved scanned image and open it using Preview and refer to the ADDENDUM below
F. If you DON'T KNOW the filename, try re-opening the printer/scanner app.
G. If you CAN'T FIND the file in three minutes or less, it's probably quicker to re-scan your picture than to spend more minutes looking for the last scan.
H. Use your printer/scanner software to scan the file AT 300 dpi
AND
I. SAVE THE FILE TO YOUR DESKTOP, because it's MUCH easier and MUCH FASTER to find a new scan at the right resolution saved to your desktop than to 'fix' some huge image saved at the wrong resolution* in some file directory called My Computer/My Documents/My Printer/My Scanner/My Scanner App/2012/Aug/1/jpg/miscellaneous/Image_2952.png
J. Don't let the scanner program TRY to automatically send it via email again.
Do it yourself:
K. Open Mail (assuming it's all set up). If not, open Safari, and navigate to your email site like Yahoo, Hotmail, GMail...)
L. Select New Message or equivalent
M. Enter the email address you're sending your contest entry to.
N. Enter the Subject name the contest rules tell you to use.
O. Enter all the information you're required to submit for the contest.
P. NOW, attach the scanned image you just saved
Q. You saved the scan to the Desktop.
W. You might need to click Desktop icon in the left column to get the list.
X. Click on your image filename and click the blue Choose File button to attach it.
Y. Double-check everything to be certain you've included all the needed information AND your scanned picture.
Z. Click 'Send'
Check to be sure the message goes. On my MacBook, I hear the 'jet flyover' sound when mail goes out successfully.
You can start breathing again.
(And nearby your Adult helper can too.)
You're welcome!
ADDENDUM:
** THE "YES, I DO KNOW THE FILENAME AND DID FIND THE FILE AND OPENED IT WITH Preview..." instructions
THIS is how to 'FIX' your huge picture file scan so it will be smaller, and send faster, and not get 'stuck' because your email account cannot handle a huge file, so 'OK, I'M REALLY DESPERATE HERE', BUT LIKELY TO CAUSE A LOWER-QUALITY IMAGE:
A. Find the scanned filename in Finder.
B. Double click on the filename.
C. That should automatically open the file in Preview.
D. Select Tools, Adjust Size.
E. Scroll down to the bottom of the menu and select the Fit Into to largest size image available.
On my computer it is 1920 x 1280 pixels.
F. Now set the Resolution to 300 dpi.
You'll have to type in the numbers.
G. At the bottom left of the Resulting Size box, you should see two numbers, the 'was MB' (original scan file size to the right), and the new KB to the left, in both pixels and KB/MB.
H. Your goal is to adjust the size to make the new resulting file size listed at the bottom left about 1.0MB or LESS. In my example, I reduced a 5.7MB photograph to 615KB (nearly a 90% reduction in file size, but with some loss of image quality).
I. Then, click the OK button to make the change.
J. Now in the top menubar, click File, Save As. That saves your changes, but still keeps the original file unchanged, so you can go back to it and try resizing it again without scanning it again, if you don't like the results.
K. Now another screen pops up, asking you the name of the file
L. Add 'resized' to the name of your file, so you know which one is the original and which has been changed.
M. Notice that there is a slider labeled Quality. Right now, it is probably about 3/4 of the way to the right.
Sliding it all the way to the right will increase quality AND increase the file size.
N. Try moving the slider to the right, and release it to see the change in file size.
O. Remember, our ultimate goal is a modified scan file SMALLER THAN 2.0MB.
P. When you're satisifed with the file size and the quality slider, click the blue Save button.
Q. Now, try emailing the 'filename'-resized image you just saved.
