<td valign="top"><p>Thanks to the addition of docking features for palettes,
it has become feasible and worthwhile to separate the former Text tab of
Properties into its own palette, which has already made it much more usable.
There are a series of sub-tabs to choose from. In the top section, there is a
button for the font family, and then just below it the fontface in that family.
Next we come to the spinbox for text size, and just below that a drop-down
selector for linespacing, with 3 choices: <b>Fixed</b>, <b>Automatic</b>, and
<b>Align to Baseline Grid</b>. Fixed linespacing allows you to set the space
between lines of text using the spinbox to the right. Automatic spacing causes
Scribus to adjust for you, according to the font size. The default setting for
this is 120% of the font size, but this can be adjusted in <i>File >
Preferences > Typography</i>. The row of buttons at the bottom sets
justification – left, center, right, full, and forced fu!

<h3>Using Story Editor</h3>
<p>This is listed first because it has or had been the recommended way to
enter text manually from the keyboard. At this stage of Scribus development,
some argue that Story Editor has lost any unique approach to editing text.
Currently, by using Edit Contents mode combined with the Text Properties
palette, you can more readily edit your frame and have the advantage of
instantly seeing the results of your edits on the canvas. If there might be one
advantage in Story Editor, it is in a situation where text may be linked from
one fame to another and over several pages. In this case you can easily move
through the entirety of the linked text in the editor window.</p>
- <p>Bring up the Story Editor (SE) from the Context Menu or with Ctrl+T. Its
main disadvantage is that you will not see the final appearance of the text
until you update the frame, with or without exiting SE. It's worth running your
cursor over the toolbar icons to note that, beginning with the 4th icon from
the left, you can exit SE and update the frame, leave SE without updating the
frame, reload from the frame (losing any edits), and update the frame without
exiting. SE has a convenient way to apply Paragraph and Character Styles, yet
this is quite easy now combining Edit Contents and Text Properties.</p>

Character Styles, but not Character Styles by themselves. Both of these are
quite easy now combining Edit Contents and Text Properties.</p>
<h3>On the Main Screen</h3>
<p>A selected frame can enter Edit Contents mode by clicking the Edit Contents
icon on the toolbar or double-clicking on the frame (keyboard: E). The
advantage of this is that you can see immediately the appearance of your
additions or edits. It is a bit slower, since screen refreshes are involved.
You can use Properties to change the font, style, and other characteristics
such as linespacing. For small edits and frames which only contain a small
amount of text, Edit Contents can serve your needs well.</p>
