Hi, I'm new to Scribus coming from Adobe InDesign. I have one observation and two questions. First the observation.
I created a text frame and then used Get Text (ctrl+d) to insert text from an OpenOffice 2.0 archive, just a couple of pages of simple text. Everything worked normally but the text didn't appear. After some trials I noticed that the directory where I had my OpenOffice file had a "?" in its name (I'm working in Spanish), when I removed the "?" in the directory name everything worked normally. Had anybody notice this? Now my first question. I have a new document and it's created with one page, I put a text frame for page number and one rectangle with a background color and then convert to master page. Then I add a few more pages using this master page. If I later decide to change something in the master page, for example the background color of my rectangle shape, the changes happen in all the pages but not in the first one, the one that was used to create the master page. I have checked and this first page is already using the master page. Why the change is not being applied there? My second question is about using editable text frames from master pages. In Adobe InDesign you can use a text frame from a master template and when you insert text you can link thru all the pages using those text frames. I read somewhere in the list that Scribus had only read only master pages. Does this mean I have to create "manually" each text frame in each page? Or is there any way to create a text frame in one page and then get many pages of text from OpenOffice and automatically create and link to text frames in many pages? Scribus rocks and I'm happy to be using it for my next project. Thank you for such a great work guys! -- Alexis Bellido http://www.mumobo.com - music, movies and books reviews -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
