Hi Marc,

please mention that Scribus 1.3.5 is a developer branch: it can change 
every day and should not be used in productive environments, especially 
not for such a big project as your Jahrbuch. So, I would suggest to stay 
with Scribus 1.3.3.12 which is the stable version.

To handle such big projects, perhaps it would be a good idea to split up 
the document into several files, for example 15 separate files each 
containing  20 pages could be a good compromise.

On the other hand, if you have only floating text with a small number of 
images included, Scribus is perhaps not the right tool for your task. I 
would suggest to take a look at LateX, which definitely will have no 
problems handling 300+ pages of text.

Best,

Tom
