If I select a single character then I can increase/decrease the space between it and the previous one. If I select a string of characters then each is treated the same as a single character; the previous space is increased or decreased. Scribus is not Photoshop, or InDesign, or whatever. Scribus is Scribus. -- John Culleton Able Indexers and Typesetters
