Hello All,
I am as new as Dori... I have read the basics and still trying to figure out the software. I have read the basics and installed the Ghostscript fonts that it says that I need. My sister sent me the link to this software as I am trying to set up labels for my business and want to do labels as well to cover handcrafted soaps. So, I do have a specific purpose for getting this to work. I want to be able to make oval labels to print out and I am at the point where I can click on a circle shape and get it to become an oval but for the life of me can not work the colours?? I have been reading Colour Management and after a few days I need to walk away and breath! :( Now, I would like a soft aqua in the oval and then text on top of that to set up a page full of ovals and perhaps other type labels as well. Is there such a book as - Scribus for Dummies?? LOL I suppose you have been asked this before... I know this is not a word processor but a page layout program but can I not make labels on this worksheet layout? I know I need to save the pic I want to use as a .tiff so that when it is resized it will not distort. But, I still am having difficulty in this area.. Bottom line is the price is right for the program and I have read so many wonderful things about this program's capabilities... I just can't seem to get it to do what I need... :( Thank you for listening to me whine....

I can't even get the software to start up. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry this is a support and community list for the scribus software. you're welcome to ask question about scribus in here. f you can't start scribus there are four possible reasons: - you're trying to start an .exe under linux - you're trying to run scribus 1.3.7 under os x 10.4 - you're trying to run scribus on a windows system which is older than windows 2000 - you're starting up scribus by inserting the keys of your car into an usb plug. for most of those cases there is a solution ready for you (even if it's ot always very simple). so: can you give some more details about your problem? ciao .l.e _______________________________________________ cribus mailing list cribus at lists.scribus.info ttp://lists.scribus.info/mailman/listinfo/scribus -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
