thanks, greg.  as i read the getting started with scribus wiki, i am 
picking up some things.

i asked this question in my first post, let me pose it again a bit 
differently:

in pagemaker 6.52, you can "turn off and on" each side of a cell.  in 
scribus you can only turn printing on or off for the entire table or 
cell.  is there plans in a future release to add this feature, or is it 
felt that a feature such as this is not needed, because it can be done 
in open office and imported into scribus?


i am looking forward to learning more about scribus and using it as a 
platform for printing art work that i create in inkscape.  and speaking 
of inkscape, i had placed an inkscape svg in scribus and received a 
message that some of the properties were not supported by scribus.  i 
assume tighter integration is still under way?  didn't i read something 
about this recently on the list?  i'm using 1.3.3.4 on a windows 2000 
platform.
