The bleeding edge version of Scribus, 1.5.0, will allow X/1-a output. That is the one I use. I update it nightly. If you don't want to use that version then save as tiff from 1.3.7. John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html After not getting burned (I think) with 1.3.7, I decided to give 1.5.0 a try but can't find it. The latest Windoze download I found is 1.3.8. Is 1.5.0 located in some special place? Thanks. Tom Benjey 717-258-9733 voice 717-243-0074 fax Twitter: @TomBenjey
