Since he wants to use Scribus but wants to massage the text in another program I suggested the LaTeX exit from recent versions of Scribus. You and I agree that he probably can do what he needs in Scribus directly. But if he wants to massage the text externally after placing it in the Scribus document then the LaTeX exit is probably the most productive. I don't know what he finds deficient in Scribus text handling. He can set up linked frames etc. an import his text. But he can answer that better than I. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
