Felix,

Hi there from a lurker who knows way too much about Adobe...

There is a way to get your article out of the full ATN.  Its a not too complicated, but may depend on the version of Adobe you have.  I am at work now and have the luxury of a full blown version of that awful program, so I am not sure if the "normal" version has this option.  Anyway here is how I managed to do it...

Save the full newsletter on your harddrive.  

Open it up and find out what page your article is on.  Click on "Document", then click "Extract Pages".  Type in the page number(s) of your article ("From page XX to page XX"). Click OK.

It then extracts the page with your article on it.  Hit save, name it what you want, and there you go.

Anyway see if this works for you (or if you even have these options).  As I said, it may depend on the version of Adobe you have.  If it doesnt work for you, let me know.  It only took me about 2 minutes to do this, so it wouldnt be too much trouble to help you out with it.  But you have to promise to be nice to me when I delurk for good... 

Let me know how if this works...

Crystal
