   I have a significantly difficult time creating the newsletters. We always include upcoming events. Each time I need to manually copy and paste every event along with adding the picture of the event flyer and setting the settings for the picture. This is insanely time consuming for me as a volunteer and I fear that the difficulties I experience with this will prevent the next board member taking over this task from wanting to use Wild Apricot. I'm hoping you can help.

   It would be great to have a feature that I can drop into a mailing to automatically add events with perhaps 3 visual options for how it will appear in the mailing. One can drop in the upcoming events, choose the visual look for these events from a few options, and choose an start and ending date to select a range of events to put in. For instance, my events page on my website might have events for the whole year but my newsletter may only want to add events for the upcoming month or 2.

   Attached is an example of how I place the events into my newsletter:

   In addition I'm including a link for 2 videos in dropbox for you to view showing some additional difficulties.

   The first shows how I typically have to copy and paste text into the newsletter. This text often crumples up into a black blob. I've found that using the back arrow will fix this however it's an extra step and especially frustrating when you can't figure out a work around for it.

   The next shows how the newsletter/mailing very often loses its formatting. VERY frustrating. When I hit delete to remove some extra space at the top of an item the font size and bold disappears. I then need to go back and fix this. Again, too time consuming.

   There are other items I'd like to point out and get fixed but this is where I'll end it for today. Hopefully you can assist. Thank you.
