I'm doing hyphens manually because Scribus (still?) saves every single possible hyphen in a quite bad way which causes really big files. Doing it manually is also the last chance for proofread in my workflow. > Is there a way of going from a given point in a text frame to the > story > editor, with the cursor at the corresponding place in the story > editor? Nice idea and should be easy to implement too. ciao, tom -- http://www.tomk32.de - just a geek trying to change the world http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benutzer:TomK32 http://verlag.tomk32.de/c/wrdigest
