Well I recently bought a book on Python but haven't had time to master the language. Also I will need to examine some Scribus python scripts to see how things are done in that mode, including how I would alter page dimensions and put vertical guides on the document. After I finish a big current customer job (not yet started) I will give it a try. -- 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
