However - for what it's worth ... I'm happy to export to PDF - I do this all the time with the Journal I produce every month - and exporting did the trick for me this time with the labels. BUT ... 1. If Scribus is *NOT* to be used for Printing - Why does it have a 'Print' option?? 2. File size - the .sla for each A4 page is 34Kb and the resulting .pdf files are just under 320Kb. I don't consider these to be "large" files (???) I just tested with a 33Kb .doc file from LO Writer and it took 10sec to start printing on my Laser Printer. Thanks for the confirmation that I went the right way!! IanW Pretoria RSA
