Thanks Christoph - As the US economic giants crumble we're becoming more and more a nation of do-it-yourself small business and that includes business cards and all manner of graphic presentations.
People who, a few years ago, hadn't heard of Joomla are becoming experts, etc. Glad to hear that Scribus is responding to the need for an easy way to develop cards. Suggestion: How about just putting some of the methods that have been suggested to me into Scribus Help until you get the user-friendly solution in production? Thanks again for your inside response. - Bill On Sun, Sep 20, 2009 at 3:01 AM, Christoph Sch?fer < christoph-schaefer at gmx.de> wrote: > Hi Bill and all other members of this list, > > It's more than obvious that the creation of business cards has become a > typical use case for Scribus. > > As a result, we're currently working on at least two sets of business card > templates with a professional graphics designer.
