Hi Charles, Please grab the latest version. (Maybe you can tell us what version you have from the Help menu.) Your opinion might as well change a bit. I believe what's on the official Mandrake 10 is not up-to-date and the "work in progress" has reached a point, over the last year of development, where Scribus is full-featured, efficient and, in just one word, works. And works well. I work with Quark everyday since 1988. Way back then, Quark didn't have multi-column and baseline grid, nor did it have transparency... (still doesn't in 6.5) and we waited so long for a PDF exporter... And it is still very difficult, if at all possible, to recover corrupted Quark files. Scribus can do all of that and we're only at 1.2... Believe me, Scribus is an amazing piece of software. So, please do you a favor and upgrade! All the best, Louis >_______________________________________________ >Scribus mailing list >Scribus at nashi.altmuehlnet.de >http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/mailman/listinfo/scribus
