I would also recommend to try and type the @ symbol in TextEdit. I just made a test on MacOSX 10.4 with the Italian keyboard (which has the @ to the left of 1, where the backtick should be), and it did not work. This seems to be a bug in MacOSX 10.4 with the so-called International Keyboard. You can use the Keyboard Viewer (from the International system preference pane or the input menu if activated) and click on the @ symbol. This works for me, both in TextEdit and in Scribus. Or switch temporarily to a US keyboard, where @ is at Shift-2. Keyboard switching is very easy in MacOSX. -- Martin
