You didn't specify the OS, which might help. You could upgrade to a newer version, such as 1.3.3.14 or something in the newer sequence, 1.3.9 perhaps? I use 1.5.0, the bleeding edge version but it is plenty stable enough for me. I never print directly from Scribus. I use Acrobat Reader. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
