You can do the same in Scribus with Multiple Copy Paste. Works really well. But before you do a multiple copy paste, get the python script here: http://www.yeccoe.org/IMG/gz/trait_de_coupe.py.gz Trait de coupe means cut marks. Run this first and then multiple copy paste and all the cards will have the cut marks properly set. There is also a template Yves made here: http://www.yeccoe.org/IMG/gz/gabarit_carte_visite.tar.gz which is for A4 business cards. Hope that helps, Peter
