First, kudos to the development team. Scribus truly is a killer app. I've used other DTP software enough to be familiar with the basics. I just built my first project with Scribus and everybody's happy, including the printer.
I wanted to warn others about a problem that caused me a lot of grief. When I saved Word files as txt using OO.o 1.1.0 a non-ascii artifact was left at the beginning of the file. It looked like this "<feff>The Fish's Tale". Whatever that is caused 5 or 6 crashes "with signal 11" and corrupted unrecoverable files. The crashes happened late in the production process or when trying to delete the artifact while in Scribus. Eventually, I opened the text files in vi, deleted the <feff> and the project went together in less than 2 hours. Thanks again for the great app. Hope my trouble will save someone else what I had to go through Tony
