It has an annoying feature when it loses focus and a couple of other small problems, but I like it pretty well. Doing almost everything in paragraphs for the magazine, the SE works great with paragraph styles. In fact, I have begun to develop all the styles I need for an issue and HATE that every text import wants to bring its own paragraph styles that I have to delete from my .sla file. > > > > Is this the best job Scribus can do in handling First Line > > Indent?

However, I use Linux and NOT Windoze. I do everything I do on a 32 bit processor, so that may make a difference. I do all the layout of the rag and all the typesetting. It's a 60-80 page, one man show and Scribus works pretty dog gone well. - John Ghormley KJ4UFG Editor, SERA *Repeater Journal* Walkertown, NC USA editor at sera.org -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
