12. Find the “Catalog” Pull down menu.
13. Pick Sample Catalog 2 (this catalog doesn’t include the extra colors & fancy stuff of Catalog one, but does have the nice layout…the colors are what get transferred to html.

15. Hit Export
16. Find your catalog.
17. For sending, you can either attach this catalog to an email (not recommended as attachments are a no-no) or copy & paste the info (recommended) to the email.
18. Take a break after doing a nifty new task. The next time will be a breeze!
