Hi Dan, As one of the main authors of the Scribus manual, I can tell you that I'm absolutely happy with your satisfaction. As it seems, John did a great job, which means he deserves every single penny for his work! I think I'm not alone when I state that many of us would like to meet John Culleton in person at the next Libre Graphics Meeting in Brussels! Christoph
