Since the manual doesn't cover X/1-a and since the X/3 standard bears little relationship to X/1-a I didn't think to look there. BTW the manual is a bit ambiguous, suggesting but not insisting that the "Info String" box on the prepress tab contain data. Now I know the answer. But what about the next guy? If the "Save" button was left active but an error message popped up if it was pressed that would be more foolproof. (I am one fool who would have appreciated that approach.) I apologize for the many posts I made earlier asking when the X/1-a format would be available. It was hidden in plain sight. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
