Thinks for the reply. Gvim to the rescue! I just used the :r (filename) command just below each Context (TeX) \typefile command and everything was inserted fine. I'll have to create a special style of course for the program segments. Now I have just one additional request. I use Scribus 1.5.0 When I import a text file Scribus puts each line in its own paragraph. Is there a way to just highlight a group of lines and combine them in one paragraph? That would save some time for the non-program segments. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
