Reading books on generic desktop publishing principles would be of more use than a Quark book. That said, my "unsupported" plugin so that you can import Quark files is stable, but still needs far more testing. I am hoping to have it in the 1.1 release (I've been looking at the plugin mechanism source and it will be amongst the top for re-writing!). You could also get involved by emailing Peter Linnel (the documentation guru) and helping him out. Scribus really is a simple package to pick up... TTFN Paul -- The world is throwing away oppressive regimes Which don't allow people to choose. Wars are fought to topple these people. Yet the folks who do this, still use Windows. Double standards or not understanding why they did it?
