Well you referred me to a post I made some time back. Not very helpful. I fear. BTW it is possible to import an svg file into a graphic frame in 1.5.0. The format is not listed on the list of choices but if you key in the name it will import. Still working out the details however. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
