What format should I give stuff to the CMT in?

Text:
Copy and Paste text into an e-mail is fine
Documents: Microsoft Word, or even better, Rich Text Format (RTF) (just do a 'save as' and choose RTF from almost any word processor).

Brochures/Publications You've Done (and we're updating or putting on the web):
Please Do Not send them in 'proprietary' formats (Microsoft Works, Publisher, etc)
We can often work from professional formats like: PageMaker, Adobe InDesign, etc
The safest thing is to save the file as an Adobe PDF and e-mail that to us (usually a 'save as' or an 'Export' in the Menus)
Otherwise, it's fine to send the text as listed above and just attach photos and graphics to the e-mail

Images/Graphics:
The best formats are Jpegs or Tiffs
Professional formats like Photoshop PSD or Adobe Illustrator can be OK
Giffs are only for web pages

Note on Image Quality:
To look good on a screen for worship, the file should be medium sized (like 300K-800K)
To look good for the web, it can be any size that looks good on your screen and can be fairly small (20K-300K)
To look good in print, and image should be a Jpeg or Tiff. Jpegs should be saved around 8-11 out of 12 Quality, and the file size is often around 600k-1Meg
