Thanx for your reply. I am a crossword compiler, and am trying to paste
a grid from Crossword Express. MS Publisher always did it for me, and
Open Office Writer does it also. I just need more DTP features so
thought I'd try Scribus. The file I'm trying to access is a metafile.
Oh, and I'm using Vista Thanx a heap, Pete.
