It is definitely not as intuitive as other applications. But I really don't have much problem using it. However, I concur in what Stuart said earlier today...especially that it's your choice. The Scribus interface has taken me some time to figure out; that's part of the reason that I shy away from KWord (my excuse anyway).

I just really appreciate the work that you are doing with this. Carl _______________________________________________ This message is from the kde-promo mailing list.
