Scribus is not automatically updated on your computer. You must have downloaded it again if it changed. And files are forward compatible but not backwards compatible. What version of Scribus did you use when you created these files? And what version do you have now? Hint: go to Help, choose "About Scribus". That screen will tell you what version you have now. 1.3.3.14 will not be changed any more and hasn't been changed in several months AFAIK. If all else fails upgrade to 1.3.8 and the files will be converted to that level. But then they cannot be used with 1.3.3.14. Try determining your current edition first, and get back to us. If necessary someone on the list will have a go at rescuing your files. We won't let you fail. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
