Comments? > > Regards, > Tristan I have been producing a car club magazine for over 7 years now using various Windows "products" including Word, Publisher and InDesign 1.0 and 2.0. It ranges from 24-40 pages, produced 6x per year. The last one was produced in Scribus, and was 24 pages. Output was as good as if not better with similar layout (99%) to previous InDesign ones. Looking at that site, I seen no reason why you couldnt produce that within Scribus. If you have decent bandwidth I can privately give you a URL to grab a copy of the latest magazine PDF (80Mb). regards Craig
