Hi Martin, One thing you can do as a start anyway, is to modify your ExtractText.py file as I show in the wiki: https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Export_all_text#Adding_info_about_Guides This also shows the syntax for capturing these values from a document. Note that the contents of the list created by getHGuides() are floating point numbers, which is why I had to do a string conversion for this script. If you wanted to use the values to create lines, you would use hguides[0], and so on. Greg
