No one else has answered. So I will give it a shot. I use Linux. Please go to this url: http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Download and select on of the two Windows choices, 32 bit or 64 bit as appropriate. I suspect 32 bit would be right for XP. Scribus is not a windows/specific program and so should not depend on the innards of any particular version of Windows. Try it and if it doesn't work then get back to the list. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
