hi funnystuff,
what are you sending to your friend?
what has your friend to do with the file?
basically, if your friend only has to print or review the document, you can produce a PDF and send it to her.
if she needs to edit it, you will have to send her the project collected for output (have a look in the file menu) and she will have to download scribus for her system!
