I have looked at your Catalogue with interest. In particular I'm very interested to know more about the Python Scripts you are using!! Please keep in mind that I don't know Python or even how to use it in Scribus but I'm very happy to learn it if it would do what I want. I have a Database of members details and I publish a monthly Journal that goes round the World. Each article or letter from a member that goes into the Journal has the Members details and a photo attached. This sounds very much like what you are doing, (except your "members" have 4 legs!!!). Anything you, or anyone else, can tell me about this would be appreciated. Thanks a lot. */_Ian "Witty" Whitfield _/* *Editor of - _"The Federal Saints Journal" _* Pretoria, South Africa **
