Thanks for the welcome to Scribus.<br><br>I do know about the manual for 1.3.5. I haven't bought it yet, trying to catch up with some bills at the moment, and reverse the current cash flow situation! LOL<br><br>If I find Scribus becoming more important and useful to me, I'll certainly buy the book. I am a sucker for books, and rarely go into a bookstore with out leaving with something. Used books are my real downfall! :)<br>

And welcome to Scribus! Hopefully eventually you'll learn how to do<br>
things and be able to use it to better advantage than OOo. I can also<br>
suggest that there is a new manual just out by Cédric Gémy, "Scribus<br>
1.3.5 Beginner's Guide" that is less expensive and covers the latest<br>
version.<br>
