I found it, (it is actually in the "Scripts" tab), and it is useful to me, but a bit cumbersome as you have to save the text file, then go and look at it.

Thanks for your help. Murray BTW: I am relatively new at the whole area of Desktop Publishing, so I have experienced a huge learning curve to be able to use Scribus, and many of the operations are far from intuitive to me. I know I have barely touched the surface of its capabilities. However, I must say that I am finding it far more powerful and flexible than any other tool I have used for creating documents that are more than simple text (for which OpenOffice is just fine).? I also appreciate the helpfulness of the majority of people on this list. I find some of the "scathing criticisms" to be rather amusing, and irrelevant.? Thank you to all the developers and the many people who are so helpful with advice when I run into problems.
