You click on that and then you can scroll through the various colors on your chosen palette.
But lets back up a bit. Before you open any Scribus document you can choose a palette. So with no document open click on Edit, then Colors and a window will appear. Click on the field for Current Color Set and select a CMYK set. I like the Scribus Open Office CMYK set. The color called Black at the top of that set is CMYK 0,0,0,100. That is the default for text. So really you don't have to do anything so long as you have chosen a CMYK palette. A little trick when going over the colors in the palette. You can't edit one of the standard colors. So you click on "Duplicate this color." Now you get a window that has bars for CMYK. You can tell from that what the formula is for the color you chose. Then just cancel the window without creating another color. -- John Culleton Create Book Covers with Scribus: http://www.booklocker.com/p/books/4055.html Typesetting and indexing http://wexfordpress.com book sales http://wexfordpress.net Free barcode: http://www.tux.org/~milgram/bookland/
