chances are big that a a .svg created by a newbie can be read into scribus. but she should probably save the file as standard SVG and not inkscape's own version of SVG > Here is a simple solution for you: > Save your image as a *.png (at a high enough resolution) and place it > in Scribus. > This always works and "only" has the drawback of being bitmap instead > of a vector. while going through a png is indeed an option, i think that she should first try to correctly import the SVG. scribus can import SVGs and gets better and better at doing it! ciao a.l.e
