It's not intuitive, is it? I think that I found it helps to save as a document first, then save as a template - don't know why, but it seemed to work better that way. Apart from that, I got this from Larry Sword on the Expert list: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- New From Template - 0.0.7 Downloading Templates Document templates can be found at http://www.scribus.net/ in the Downloads section. Installing Templates Extract the package to the template directory ~/.scribus/templates for the current user or PREFIX/share/scribus/templates for all users in the system. Preparing a template Make sure images and fonts you use can be used freely. If fonts cannot be shared do not collect them when saving as a template.The template creator should also make sure that the Installing Templates section above applies to their templates as well. This means a user should be able to download a template package and be able to extract them to the template directory and start using them. Removing a template Removing a template from the New From Template dialog will only remove the entry from the template.xml, it will not delete the document files. A popup menu with remove is only shown if you have write access to the template.xml file. Translating template.xml Copy an existing template.xml to a file called template.lang_COUNTRY.xml (use the same lang code that is present in the qm file for your language), for example template.fi.xml for Finnish language template.xml. The copy must be located in the same directory as the original template.xml so Scribus can load it. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have the Document set: /home/lsword/.scribus /Test /images /scripts /templates I place all templates in the /usr/lib/scribus/templates. You will notice that placing them in the this folder and your personal folder will cause them to be dispalyed twice when opening the "new from template" choice. Larry It's worth picking up those templates. Anne -- Registered Linux User No.293302 (http://counter.li.org/) Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet? Mandrake at all levels
