Funny how people can't stop twisting words. You can write in Scribus and Quark -- if you want to. It's just not the right tool for _writing_ a book or any other longer text. For huge texts, use a wp or a text editor. No one would use InDesign for _writing_ a book, and FrameMaker, well, how often have I told you that it's something quite different?

Yes, and Word, WordPerfect, even a really great word processor like TextMaker offers frames, but their features regarding typography, placing items on a page or colours are limited or non-existent. So what? They are different tools, full stop. > > Bye for now. > > Allen Christoph
