In addition, I'm lost with respect to your reference to "Vol 34, No 51", I have no clue what that refers to. BTW, I updated my Scribus-ng last week and got 1.4.0 as a result. Can't tell much difference from 1.3.9, but I'm about to finish my issue of the magazine for this quarter with 1.4.0 and it seems to work pretty well. -- John Ghormley KJ4UFG Editor, SERA *Repeater Journal* Walkertown, NC USA editor at sera.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
