hi murray, > Scribus 1.4.0 is now in the Ubuntu 11.04 repository. I am trying it > (Build ID: C-C-T-F-C1.10.2-64bit) for the first time.

just a notice for the next time: use the frame's top margin to center the lines and not the line offset. there's even a script in the wiki which does calculate the margin for you... ciao a.l.e
