</div>do you want the scribus team to work on a filter for .pub files to compensate for that idiocy?<br></blockquote><div><br>Yes. <br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
i tried to keep your example and show you, where i feel that the problem is.<br>
i may have missed the point.<br>
<br>
still, i don't understand what you want from the scribus community.<br>

can you tell me exactly what you expect from the people reading the mailing list?<br></blockquote><div><br>The most obvious thing is not to continue suggest keeping a Windows system and let it eat up disk space I could use for productive work.<br>

what do you plan to do with it?<br></blockquote><div><br>With the mailing list or the mythic filter?

what would be your own contribution?<br></blockquote><div><br>Well anything from software design, coding, Q&A, documentation.<br><br>The one thing I can't (won't) do is reverse engineer the format; that would mandate I purchase a copies of Publisher (to cope with Microsoft's own inability to handle version changes) and a copy of Windows. <br>
