InDesign/HTML Help

[kragore]

The situation:
I have a lovely newsletter, built in InDesign. It has a top-page spanning masthead (graphic.) It is spilt into two colums of text. It has a bottom-page spanning call to action (graphic.)
I need to export it to HTML and have it hold the formatting.

I've tried exporting to HTML directly from InDesign (fail.)
I've tried exporting a PDF from InDesign and exporting it as HTML from Acrobat (fail.)
I opened Dreamweaver, got the distinct impression my brain was wired incorrectly, and closed the program (fail.)

Does anyone have any idea how to do this? There could be cookies in your future if you com up with the winning solution!

Undoubtedly of no help whatsoever, but... can you get an image of this project? If you can make an image (print screen, capture screen, whatever), save it to your harddrive, upload it as an image to a photo site, and from there it can be tinkered with for size. Ofcourse, once you do that, any formatting or typos aren't workable. They are just part of a pretty picture and no longer discrete bits of info you can modify. This would be my very knuckledragging redneck solution to the problem (a bit like photocopying a collage to make one flat image instead of a piece of papaer with crap glued on). I'd let one of the smart people take a crack at it. But hey, it's an idea. Not sure if it does what's needed, and if you wanted to send the thing as an email, you'd still need to do whatever silliness is required to send the image. But it does save formatting code.

That's my last ditch solution, actually - They need it a little more... interactive.. There have to be active links and crap, or I'd be all over that idea.
Thanks!
