Hi We are editing a small quarterly newletter for our village here in the Swiss mountains, It is 28 to 32 pages A5 in German. Since last June I use the Scribus for this task and really like it and I would like to use this opportunity to thank everybody who contributed to the Sribus project.
My workflow is usually the following. We collect contributions (text and photos) from 5 to 15 different contributors. As we cannot impose any common style sheet for Word or whatever word processor they use, I always pasted the text into kate (I could have used vim) to remove any trace of the contracting/confusing/inconsitent styles the contributions have. For each article I add a text box and paste in the text. Then I have a few styles (Heading 1, Heading 2, Standard, Editorial, etc) which I manually apply to different paragraphs. If needed I apply some bold/italic or other manual formatting if needed. This workflow worked fine for me for the last issue (November 08). I recompiled using the latest SVN sources (after r13290 #6989 : applying styles to text imported via "Get text" doesn't take effect Applying a named paragraph style now reset direct formatting applied to characters But I still have the problem that the style chosen is only used for the paragraphs (line spacing, identation, tabs and the like) but that the associated character style (e.g. font, size) does not change when I select another style in the text box. There I think one should not yet close the bug 6889. Or did I missed something? I am running Debian/GNU-LInux lenny with some unstable packages.
