:)   I like the way you think, but it may be prejudice on my part.

Yes -  though that was presumably unrelated to Scribus ?  As far as I 
know, access violations are a pretty generic 'point outside my address 
space' kind of bug.

Unfortunately we don't need to upgrade our Linux boxes too often, so 
although we have a bunch, one of them has a DEC Alpha processor, three 
CPUs in fact (!), and none of them are new enough to run scribus.

As a thought though, I'll try Scribus on another windows box.

Unfortunately or not, I've evolved the habit of writing the text as I do 
the layout.
