I have been using MS Word and I disagree with you here. Though I know you can create text frames in MS-Word but you CANNOT move it with the DETAILED precision as you can do in Scribus. For example, you can set attributes in upto several decimal places - that's not available in Word. As for manual kerning, I was talking about adjusting space between each individual character of a word - you cannot do that in word which only lets you adjust character-spacing on a single piece of text as a whole - no adjusting of space between individual characters. That's why whenever I think about Scribus, the words that come to mind are "precision" and "control". -- Sincerely, Asif
