I think the Scribus audience is large enough that recommending something else for a particular app is not going to upset the apple cart. Having learned Scribus first I find it easier than Inkscape. So that is not even worth discussing. De gustibus non disputandum or something like that. For labels recently I turned to a little known TeX macro. But TeX at that level is definitely an acquired taste. I wouldn't suggest it for others. Open Office has a template for Avery 18260 labels that would be the ideal choice if you happen to need that layout. It can be modified to handle other labels but then you are into the business of measuring the label stock, the gaps and so on. I learned long ago that you can do almost anything with any language. For labels I suggest whatever DTP or WP program the user is most familiar with. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
