Hi "a.l.e." & "Christoph" Thankyou for your kind and gentle responses.
a.l.e. re << well, it's a pity that publisher doesn't set the standard for scribus :-) >> no it's not a pity. But the example I gave was the simplest way (for me) to express it, sorry to irritate or offend. a.l.e. re << the best way to do it, is to create the frame in inkscape, with the correct size, export it to svg and import it in scribus. >> Thanks, I could do that, but it does make the task far more convoluted and cumbersome compared to how it can be done in another application that we dare not mention here. I am looking to try and get multiple clients to let go of a certain application and anything they can do in it they obviously expect to be able to do in another and without too much extra effort. K
