Hi Martin, I had similar issues to the OP and have gained knowledge from this thread - thanks!
I've got 2 Macs - one a G4 running Leopard with 768mb RAM and the other a MacBook running Leopard, with 4gb RAM. What version of Scribus do you recommend that I run? For file compatibility, does it need to be the same version on both machines? Thanks for your help.
