But my main consideration is to proof-reading workflow. The articles come from different editors, but the head-editor should streamline style elements and grammar. This includes also the use of simple formatting like italic or type of parentheses.
Is Scribus capable of synchronizing the contained text of a document to a commonly readible file-format (like rtf)? I mean: once text is imported into a scribus-document, can it still easily be exported/imported for offline editing in MS Word? --------=========------------ I can answer from my newsletter point of view because we work on articles broadly as you have described. I get articles in word. openoffice, plain text, etc, modify then return them to contributors for appraisal before rge final draft. Mean while I work on the updated article to get the design and layout right before the final returns for inclusion, there is very little change to final inclusions done this way. may I suggest articles for Scribus plain text rather than rtf, word or any other format. II find that if text is presented in a predefined layout it is time consuming to reformat. I do all the formatting in Scribus, including line spacing, indents, caps and so on. Roger
