In case you're interested, RL created a nice 3-fold brochure template for an earlier Scribus 1.2 RC release in 2004 - I am attaching it here, called Brochurre-1.sla, and I created one a couple of years ago specifically to take care of HP Officejet R65 non-printing margins, called D?pliant 2pp blanc.sla; I attach it also.

DTP is about placing content on a page, not arranging pages for the printer. and it would be nice if we could keep it that way! ciao a.l.e [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imposition ------------------------------ Nicholas Newman Nicholas.Newman at Skynet.be
