I have Scribus on my old XP computer and it works O.K. Now I also have a Windows Home 10 with Scribus 1.5.3 it so diferent that I find my way around and do any work on it. I mad an A5 profile on the XP laptop and transfer it with my Flash Card, it opened in the Scribers 10 (1.5.3.) Now on the Windows 10 version I can import my text but I dont know how to change the text, e.g. size of text, the boxis to get the bold, standard and italics.
I an realy lost with it! I have been atempting to learn for some Youtube tutorials, my problem is hering and the speed they go the. A book or some text would be beter. I am an old lady of 81 yare. Please can anyone help. Wena.
