Hi Chris,


Thanks for your advice.


I suppose "scribus" is similar to PageMaker, FrameWork, Ventura, etc., a
desktop publisher.  I went across it before but never use it.  I ran
PageMaker while I lived in Windows world long time ago.


Actually the bar preventing me to edit professional business cards on
OOoWriter is without layers there.  I can insert picture/image on its
template as background making it x% transparent according to my requirement. 
I can edit text on its top.  But I can't insert another picture/image on
top.  Unless I treat it on OOoDraw.  In this way I prefer going back to GIMP
to do the job.  I'm stuck there.

I'm running 100% Open Source packages here on Linux/Unix boxes.  I don't
have Windows box.  To running Windows application I need "wine".  It is in a
very rare case except IE, the buggy Internet browser.  Some Internet sites
require visitors running IE.  It is rather funny.
