Aha! It is all in knowing how. I missed the intermediate step: Import>get text>html and the text frame. I am trying to create a paper file or manual from the Scribus help html files. I am a bit surprised that someone hasn't made a pdf version of the documentation before this, but maybe I will make the first such. Like a lot of old fogies, sometimes I like to go off in the corner with a cup of coffee and the manual. Man does not live by screen displays alone. -- John Culleton
