This website was interesting but I suppose I'm just too old and slow.
The video moved so fast I could not keep up with it. Also, there was no
audio to help out. :-(

I have used Scribus 1.4.0rc2 and now using 1.4.0rc5. I have had the same
problems with both so the issues below apply to both. Perhaps some
issues are "pilot errors". I have been working with Scribus for six or
seven months but still have a lot to learn.
The first issue is lack of consistence i

No, I have Windows 7 and this worked for me. The problem was lack of
