Scribus is aimed primarily at printed rather than web products, although there is a choice when you produce a pdf. For one thing the typical pdf produced by Scribus is very large. AFAIK text reflow and PDF are not compatible. For text reflow you should probably use HTML or XHTML. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.booklocker.com/p/books/4055.html Typesetting and indexing http://wexfordpress.com book sales http://wexfordpress.net Free barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/
