Pick the right type font and size etc. of course. 2. reduce the height of the frame to exactly the width of the spine. Right click on the text frame, select properties, and adjust the ?Y? dimension to this height. 3. rotate it 90 degree clockwise (USA) or counterclockwise (European) Right click on the text frame, click on ?Properties? and look for ?rotation? in about the middle of the new window. For USA you need to rotate to 270 degrees. 4. Move the text frame to fit exactly between the guides you already drew for the spine ( you did calculate the spine width and place the guides, didn?t you?} 5. Lock the text frame in place. If you use the LSI cover template (PostScript, not PDF) then the guides are already there. -- John Culleton Resources for every author and publisher: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf http://wexfordpress.com/tex/packagers.pdf http://www.creativemindspress.com/newbiefaq.htm http://www.gropenassoc.com/TopLevelPages/reference%20desk.htm _______________________________________________ scribus mailing list scribus at lists.scribus.info http://lists.scribus.info/mailman/listinfo/scribus
