Hi Tom, It's short and sweet! Can I suggest you hyphenate the text so the type will stand out better? I would also suggest to use curly quotes and em dashes to achieve a more professional look. You could even use italic for the quote from Sourceforge. I find the margins to be very narrow. I wonder how this will come out from a regular printer. Also, the upper and lower blue bands are bleed and this will definitely challenge the printer. Anyhow, I would suggest you actually print the flyer and fold it to make sure it is to your exact taste. Some margins adjustments may be needed. As a general note on many other works done with Scribus is some (many?) users seem to be unaware of the hyphenation capabilities of the program. Although not perfect (and Scribus is not alone on that field), the hyphenation engine works well and in many languages. Hyphenating text is a way to avoid bigger than necessary blank holes in some lines of text. Just a few hints. Cheers! Louis >Greetings, > >Tom
