Well, more or less only use Scribus to create nice figures. If I write something privately, I export them from Scribus to LaTeX but unfortunally, my boss refuses to use LaTeX. He is used to work with Word and does not want to change this habit. Therefore, everything he wants to have digitally I have to provide in a Word-Doc format. However, MS-Word and OpenOffice need a huge amount of resources after importing 10 eps figures. Although eps and wmf are vector graphics, I didn't find such behaviour for wmf files. Anyway my (ugly) workaround now is to create figures in Scribus, exporting them as eps, renaming them, importing them into Corel Draw and finally exporting them as wmf files. The last step is obviously the nastiest one. ;) It would be much easier to directly export figures from Scribus in eps and wmf format (for my and my bosses use). ;) Best regards, Robin -- Robin Haunschild <H at unschild.de> http://www.tuxschild.de .''`.
