First step: I recommend you upgrade to a version closer to today. A lot has changed since 2006! Scribus 1.3.8 is available now. It dates back to July. There is a Mac OS X version available. It is stable in everything but name. At least come forward to 1.3.3.14, the official stable release. I cannot reproduce your problem with 1.3.8 nor with 1.5.0. Once again I suggest that the new 1.3.9 release be redesignated as stable, i.e, 1.4.0 now. A lot of new people are coming to Scribus and are installing 1.3.3.14. It would be a kindness to them and to the rest of us to designate something newer as the official "stable" release. -- John Culleton, Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" $5.95 at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html Free eps format barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/
