Hi, You understand correctly. Many thanks for this suggestion and the one by Mikolaj. I had done a similar thing by setting up an A7 page and getting all the images and text set up, and then setting the page size to A4. This had the A7 page in the top left-hand corner. I then grouped everything on the A7 page and used the multiple copy to copy this page eight times on the sheet. This works OK but it is important to get the first A7 page correct or then corrections have to be made eight times or delete seven objects, correct the one and then multiple paste again. It also causes some problems if any of the images bleed off the page. I like the PDF suggestion as this would overcome the problem of the bleed-off, but that still means making copies on to seven more pages. It would be nice to have the possibility of multiple page print-out onto one sheet; that is what I am used to, having used Ovation Pro on RiscOS for many years. Is there any possibility that this feature could be considered for a future version of Scribus. Multiple copies of the same image on one sheet is just what is needed for things like business cards and tickets. I appreciate very much the prompt help which has been provided through this list. Best wishes to all, Berni. > _______________________________________________ > Scribus mailing list > Scribus at nashi.altmuehlnet.de > http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/mailman/listinfo/scribus
