Thanks for your advice. I suppose "scribus" is similar to PageMaker, FrameWork, Ventura, etc., a desktop publisher. I went across it before but never use it. I ran PageMaker while I lived in Windows world long time ago. Actually the bar preventing me to edit professional business cards on OOoWriter is without layers there. I can insert picture/image on its template as background making it x% transparent according to my requirement. I can edit text on its top. But I can't insert another picture/image on top. Unless I treat it on OOoDraw. In this way I prefer going back to GIMP to do the job. I'm stuck there. > not sure if runs well on > windows though (they've been working on that for a while). > I'm running 100% Open Source packages here on Linux/Unix boxes. I don't have Windows box. To running Windows application I need "wine". It is in a very rare case except IE, the buggy Internet browser. Some Internet sites require visitors running IE. It is rather funny.
