  1. Use the New keyword in the Dim statement to create a NotesNewsletter object.
  2. Call one of the following NotesNewsletter methods to create a document: FormatDocument to create a NotesDocument object that contains a rendering of other documents; FormatMsgWithDoclinks to create a document that contains doclinks to other documents plus header information.
