Does anyone know how to insert a flyer into an e-mail so that it
appears in the text section just as it would in a word document?
Basically just like a advertisement e-mail would.

You'll use HTML email but note that not all HTML elements are supported in
email and may look different depending on the client the recipient uses.

You can't since the vast majority of users employ e-mail clients that
disable scripting in HTML-formatted e-mails.  Attach the .doc file with
your "special" formatting and have the recipient open it *if* they
choose to.

Just because he makes it look like a flyer doesn't mean there will be
scripting in it. It may work fine - it just depends on the design.

Rather than sending a doc, if he chooses to send an attachment, a PDF is
better than a word doc.

I wasn't sure if "flyer" meant a 2-column fold-out appearance in the
style for the content of the e-mail, or if it meant a popup bubble or
banner that appears when the mouse is hovered over an object in the
message, like when using mouse tricks.  The latter requires scripting in
HTML.  The former is just the style for columnar formatting.

Publisher is an awful email designer. An HTML editor is better.
