That's due to hyphenation. Set minwordlength to 7 or higher. To fix existing docs use my dehyphenator (wrote that yesterday, http://bugs.scribus.net/view.php?id=970 ) and hyphenate the text again. Should be much faster then. I'm doing a 60+ pages magazine every two weeks, text is from HTML and I think next time I'll do it within six hours.

Forget the WYSIWYG editor, the Story Editor is better. -- == Weblinks == * http://verlag.tomk32.de/ - WikiReader Digest als Print-Ausgabe * http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:TomK32 * http://www.hammererlehen.de - Urlaub in Berchtesgaden
