You might try just playing with parameters. One thing to consider is that 300 pages is a bit much for Scribus in general, so carving that down may help. Also, since Scribus can't import Word formatting, maybe save as plain text, import and see if that helps. If you need some formatting, use LibreOffice to import your Word document, save as ODT file, then import to Scribus. Greg
