- <p class="faqquestion">Color Management does not appear in the menu.</p>
- <p>Make sure you have .icc and or .icm profiles in the /scribus/profiles directory, or in the directory that you have set in Settings->Preferences. Ideally, you will have a set of profiles which includes one for your monitor, one for the images and any scanner or input device profiles and profiles for your printer or output device. You need a minimum of 1 RGB color space icc profile and 1 CMYK icc color space profile for the color managment options to be enabled. See the details in Color Management for Scribus for links and info about color profiles.</p>
- <p>If you install littlecms from an rpm, make sure you have installed the development libraries as well. If not, install the rpm, run ldconfig or /sbin/ldconfig as root, remove config.cache from the source directory, then run ./configure again and recompile.</p>
+ <p class="faqquestion">How do get I formatted tables in Scribus?</p>
+ <p>Scribus added basic table support in 1.1.6, but unfortunately, tables are nothing more than combined text frames, and it is a bit hard to work with them. If you need to have more complex tables, here is a reliable workaround:</p>
+ <ol>
+ <li> Create your table in either OpenOffice.org Writer or Calc.</li>
+ <li> Copy the table cells you need in Scribus (i.e: not the whole spreadheet in Calc) to the clipboard, create a new OpenOffice.org Draw document, and use <i>Edit > Paste Special > GDI Metafile</i> to insert the table as a vector file into Draw.</li>
+ <li> Use <i>File > Export</i> to export the graphic as an EPS file. Make sure that <i>Selection</i> is checked in the export dialog, because otherwise the whole page will be exported.</li>
+ <li> Now import the EPS file as a vector drawing in Scribus via <i>File > Import > Import Vector File</i></li>
+ </ol>

- <p class="faqquestion">How do get I formatted tables in Scribus?</p>
- <p>Scribus added basic table support in 1.1.6</p>
- <p>One suggestion for placing formatted tables and sections of spreadsheets is the following:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Create the table in a spreadsheet in either StarOffice or OpenOffice.org 1.1.x (recommended as a first choice). Format the table with the desired fonts, sizing and background colors for the cells.</li>
- <li>"Print" the file saving as PS, by printing a "file" to the "generic printer".</li>
- <li>Open the just created PostScript file in GSView (Version 4.6 or newer recommended)</li>
- <li>File > Convert > Select Device epswrite</li>
- <li>Choose 300 or more dpi as the resolution and save. Then, place the image as an EPS. Scribus will print this with the colors, shading and fonts intact. The screen preview may not be perfect, but it will either export as PDF or print just fine.</li>
- <li>Alternative: Import as an SVG, as outlined: Importing Tricks for Scribus</li>
- </ul>
+ <p class="faqquestion">Help! My palettes have disappeared!</p>
+ <p>Close Scribus. Then open <code>~/.scribus/scribus.rc</code>, a hidden file in your home directory in a text editor. Then look down in the file for the section beginning about 10 lines from the top. <code>ex: MEASUREMENTS YPOS="-264" XPOS="-692" VISIBLE="1"</code>.</p>
+ <p>Notice the negative numbers in front of the <code>YPOS</code> and <code>XPOS</code> statements. Remove the minus, set the visible setting to 0 and save. You might find the coordinates too large: (<code>YPOS="3046" XPOS="7690"</code>) Either way, these coordinates are screen positions in pixels. They should be within 1024x768 or whatever screen resolution you are running. Restart Scribus, go to the <i>Windows</i> menu and select show for the missing palette. It will reappear like normal.</p>
+ <p><i>This has been corrected in the most recent versions of Scribus and should not be a problem in the future.</i></p>

+ <p class="faqquestion">Why do Scribus DMGs from SourceForge not work on Mac OS X 10.4.x?</p>
+ <p>To run Scribus under OS X 10.4.x, you need to install <a href="http://www.finkproject.org/">Fink</a>, an Open Source packaging system for OS X, and <a href="http://finkcommander.sourceforge.net/">FinkCommader</a>, Fink's graphical user interface. In FinkCommnader, go to <i>Preferences > Fink</i> and check <i>Use Unstable Packages</i>.</p>

+ <p class="faqquestion">Scribus is slow to launch. Why?</p>
+ <p>For those who are new at desktop publishing, unlike most programs, DTP applications care greatly about which fonts are installed and if the font paths are valid. So, when Scribus launches, one of the things it does is to completely and thoroughly scan your font paths and ensure they are valid. This takes time. If you have a large number of fonts installed and slow launch times are a problem, reduce the number of fonts or font paths. </p>
+ <p>The other reason is that your Scrapbook might be filled with complex or large image files. Deleting uneeded items or saving the Scrapbook under a different name and then creating a new blank Scrapbook will also help reduce the startup time.</p>

+ <p>PDF 1.2 = Acrobat 3.0 – Relatively obsolete now.</p>
+ <p>PDF 1.3 = Acrobat 4.0 – The first version of PDF which truly had all the needed features to support “press-ready” PDFs including color managment, ICC profiles etc. It also added JavaScript, interactive and multimedia capabilities. This standard is probably the safest to send if you are unsure of the capabilities of the receiver of your file. PDF/X-3 and a number of commercial print work flows are based on PDF 1.3.</p>
+ <p>PDF 1.4 = Acrobat 5.0 – actually introduced with Illustrator 9, The main difference to concern Scribus users is that PDF 1.4, has both transparency and alpha transparency capabilites, which make a major difference in where a PDF with these features can be printed. It takes either the latest commerical RIP's or a Level 3 PostScript printer to use these features properly. The latest versions of Ghostscript support the advanced PDF 1.4 features Scribus can create when exporting PDF.</p>
+ <p>PDF 1.5 = Acrobat 6.0 – Among the most interesting for Scribus users: Many improvements for “press-ready” PDF, the capability to have true layering within the PDF, PDF-X “pre-flight” capability, more security and interactive features, like the ability to add comments which are separate from the original document.</p>

- <p class="faqquestion">Why don't images do not print on a HP LaserJet 1xxx series printer(or other B&W laser)from within Scribus
-or from exported ps/pdf files, but can be viewed in PDFs.</p>
- <p>One workaround is to export your document to PDF then load it into AcrobatReader and print at PS level 2.</p>
- <p>Another solution is to create a non PostScript printer (E.g. for a HP LJ 1300 series a printer was set up in CUPS as hplj with lj5gray printer). That works for some apps/docs, too. In general,create a ps2 level printer. Make sure you use the PPD file from the windowsdriver package instead of the cups/foomatic one. You will get better results during the conversion.</p>
- <p>The reason is Scribus is generating PS3 level objects which the PS interpreter is unable to understand. This is a frequent issue with Black and White laser jets when printing from Desktop Publishing apps - I've seen this with LJ4 and 5, as well as newer HP2xxx printers with Pagemaker, Quark Xpress and Indesign. </p>

+ <p>There are currently three branches of Scribus available:
+ <ol>
+ <li>The officially stable branch is 1.3.3.x, and installers for Windows and OS/2 are available from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus/">Sourceforge</a>. This branch is unlikely to see any updates or bugfixes.</li>
+ <li>The next version of Scribus is being developed in the branch called “Next Generation” (NG), and it will result in Scribus 1.4. This branch is already quite stable and useable. Installers for this branch are regularly updated and <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-svn/">available</a> for Mac OS X 10.5+, OS/2 and Windows. Users of Linux/UNIX can use their distribution's package management or check out <a href="install1.html">svn</a> and <a href="install4.html">build from source</a>.</li>
+ <li>1.5.x is an experimental branch, in which new features are implemented and tested. If possible, those new features will be backported to the 1.3.x/1.4 branch. There are no installers or packages available, as it's only recommended for users who want to test the latest features. <b>Do not use 1.5+ for serious work, because we cannot even guarantee that the file format won't change!</b> 1.5+ must be compiled from source.</li>

-<h2>Hyphenation - Type Hints</h2>
+<h2>Hyphenation</h2>
<h3>Introduction</h3>
-<p>This feature adds sophisticated hyphenation control for text formatting within Scribus. Based on code from both Tex and OpenOffice.org, it has a time tested algorithm for selecting syllables within words.</p>
+<p>One of the reasons for ugly text layout is “white holes” between words, which in turn are the result of unhyphenated text. A general rule is that the shorter the a line of text, the more likely those gaps are. Hence the strong recommendation to use the hyphenator for continuous text.</p>
-<h3>Usage</h3>
-<p>Hyphenation. Select a text frame, Adjust the text alignment you wish and then select Hyphenation > Hyphenate Text from the menu. Automatic, means just that - select a text frame and Hyphenate > Hyphenate Text sets this very similarly to applying a Style. Changing the font, kerning or font size will automatically redraw the text and reapply the hyphenation automatically.</p>
+<h3>Configuration</h3>
+<p>To get the best hyphenation results, you are advised to configure the hyphenator properly. This can be done via <i>File > Document Setup > Hyphenator</i> for the current document and <i>File > Preferences > Hyphenator</i> for new documents.</p>
<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/hyphen1.png" align="center" alt="Hyphenator Settings Dialog" /></td></tr></table>
-
-<p>For most purposes, the settings can be left at the default - Automatic - and then you can simply apply hyphenation by selecting the text box and then Hyphenation > Hyphenate Text from the menu. You can also allow Scribus to automatically hyphenate as you type.</p>
-
-<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/hyphen2.png" align="center" alt="Possible Hyphenation Dialog" title="Possible Hyphenation Dialog" /></td></tr></table>
-
-<p>When set to manual, you also have the option to over ride possible hyphenation word by word, as shown in figure below.</p>
-
-<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/hyphen3.png" align="center" alt="Possible Hyphenation Dialog" title="Possible Hyphenation Dialog" /></td></tr></table>
-
-<p>There is a sample document included with the documentation <code>hyphen.scd.gz</code> which gives a short demo of the differences when you layout a columns of text.</p>
-
-<p>You will probably have the best appearance from formatting your text as <strong>Block(justified)</strong>.</p>
-
-<p>Currently, there are hyphenation dictionaries in Catalan, Czech, Danish, English, Finnish
-French, German, Greek, Irish (Gaelic), Italian, Hungarian, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish and Ukrainian.</p>
+<p>The dialog consists of four parts. In the upper left section (<i>General Options</i>) you can determine the general behavior of the hyphenator:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><b>Hyphenation Suggestions:</b> If you check this option, Scribus will suggest the hyphenation for <i>every word</i> in a text frame. If applied to a long text, this can be time-consuming, and you may want to correct hyphenations on a case-by-case instead.</li>
+<li><b>Hyphenate Text Automatically During Typing:</b> If checked, Scribus will automatically hyphenate text in every text frame that’s being added to your document. This includes imported text.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>In the upper right corner you can see the most important typographical options, namely:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><b>Language:</b> There are huge differences between the hyphenation rules in different languages, so you have to make sure to select the correct one. If you use more than one language in a document, you can set up separate <a href="WwStyles.html">character styles</a> for every language.</li>
+<li><b>Smallest word</b> determines the length required to trigger a hyphen. The default is 3, which means that a word needs to consist at least of four characters to be hyphenated.</li>
+<li><b>Consecutive Hyphenations Allowed:</b> determines in how many consecutive lines hyphenation is permitted. It is recommended to limit the number of lines, because otherwise the right border of a text looks like a “ladder”. The default is 2, which is common in typography.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>In the lower part of the dialog there are two fields that allow you to specify words that you want to be treated differently. The left field is called <i>Exceptions</i>. Here you can add words that aren’t hyphenated correctly by the hyphenator. In the example above, the word “manuscript” has been inserted, including the desired positions for line breaks, which are specified by inserting “-” via the keyboard.</p>
+<p>To the right there is a second field called <i>Ignore List</i>. Any word that has been added to this list won’t be hyphenated.</p>
+<h3>Usage</h3>
+<p>Select a text frame, adjust the text alignment to your liking and then select <i>Extras > Hyphenate Text</i> from the menu. Note that this will only hyphenate text in a selected frame.</p>
+<p>In the <i>Extras</i> menu there is also the opposite feature, called <i>Dehyphenate Text</i>. It is used to dehyphenate text in a selected frame, but it can also be used to dehyphenate a single word. To do the latter, you have to select a hyphenated word in a text frame and then use the menu command.</p>
+<p>Not every possible or reasonable hyphenation can be detected by the hyphenation algorithm. In such a case you can insert a so-called “soft hyphen” into a word. “Soft hyphen” essentially tells the hyphenator: “Hyphenate here, if possible”, whre “possible” means that hyphenation is not prevented by other settings, like <i>Consecutive Hyphenations Allowed</i>. To insert a soft hyphen, you need to place the cursor in a word at the desired break position and then use <i>Insert > Character > Soft Hyphen</i>.</p>

<h1> Scribus Quick Start Guide</h1>
<p>Before we start explaining Scribus in depth, it might be useful to get a "feeling" for the way Scribus works. For that purpose, you can see how a simple front page of a magazine for an imaginary Rembrandt exhibition is being created. If you want to follow the description provided here, you need:

</p>
+<p>Before you start, you need to select the apropriate color palette for the project. Make sure that no document is open, then go to <i>Edit > Colors</i>. The default color palette is called “Scribus Basic”, as you can see in the dialog. Here we need a swatch called “Scribus X11”. You can select this palette under <i>Color Sets</i> in the <i>Edit Colors</i> dialog:</p>

<h2>Step One: Creating a Document and a Page Background</h2>
-<p>You probably know what happens if you create a new file in a word processor: the program you're working with creates a new page and you can start typing. If a new page is necessary, the word processor will create a new one. This won't work in Scribus (or most other DTP programs). To create a new page, you have to tell the program to do exactly that. The main purpose of a DTP software is to give you a maximum of control over design and content of your document. So we click <i>File > New</i>, and Scribus brings up the following dialog:

-</p><p>For our cover page we will choose a Single Page layout. Set the Page Size to "Custom" and change the default value for height to 285 mm. This is going to be about the same as US Letter size. The cover page won't need any margins, so that we use 0 mm as the value for all page margins. Leave the rest of the default settings as they are.
-</p><p>After clicking the "OK" button, Scribus creates a new page:

-</p><p>Next, we need a grey background for our page. Click on the white rectangle in the menu bar or simply press S on the keyboard. Yes, you're reading correctly, pressing S doesn't mean anything will be "typed" on the page. To type, you need a special environment called text frame, as you will see below. In this case, we need a shape, thus the keyboard S command.

</p><p>Your mouse pointer now turns into a rectangle with a + on its upper left corner. Click and hold the mouse button, then drag the + across the page and let up – you have just created a shape. Size, position and color don't matter here, as we will change them immediately.
<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/Rembrandt3.png"/></td></tr></table>
-</p><p>If you haven't clicked somewhere else on screen, your new rectangle is still selected, which means it is outlined in red dots and so-called handles at each corner and the middle of a line. Now use <i>Windows > Properties</i> or press F2 to bring up the <b>Properties Palette</b>, which is the Swiss Army Knife of Scribus. You will learn a lot more about its use later. For the time being, let's stay in the default tab of this dialog, which is called "X,Y,Z". The more complex a document is, the more useful it is to give each object a unique name. It will make it easier to find and to select it later on. Not surprisingly, we'll call our Shape "Background".

</p><p>Next, make our rectangle match the size of the page. Remember the values we chose for the page? Insert them here, but first don't forget to click on the chain symbol to the right of the boxes for changing the values for width and height. If you try to do this without unlinking that chain, you will see that a change in one value changes the other in a proportional way, and it will seem like you are forever stuck, which you will be until you unlink that chain.
</p><p>Now that our rectangle has exactly the size of our page, you need to make sure that it matches the page borders by setting its X and Y positions to 0.000 – if you just delete what is there and replace with 0, then press Tab or Enter, Scribus will make the decimal point and other zeros for you.
<table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/Rembrandt4.png"/></td></tr></table>
-</p><p>By default, Scribus uses black as the color for shapes, which is not what is needed here. Provided our shape is still selected, we use the Properties Palette again to assign a new color to it. For that purpose we select the "Colors" tab. From the list select "Grey41" as the Fill Color.
-</p><p>Each shape and each frame in Scribus has a border. In the case of shapes the default color is always black. Since we don't want any color for our Frame border, click on the symbol with the pen and select the color "None", which is always at the top of the list.

<h2>Step Two: Inserting the Cover Picture</h2
-<p>Now that the background has been created, you need to place our cover picture. You may be used to inserting images directly in your word processor, but in Scribus they are inserted in a container (called a frame). For images, or, more precisely, for bitmap images, create an image frame by clicking on the Image Frame icon in the toolbar or by pressing I on the keyboard. Draw your image frame as you did with the rectangle and go to the "X,Y,Z" tab of the Properties Palette again.</p>

-<p>Rename this image frame "Rembrandt1", and for width and height enter the values as shown in the screenshot below. Our cover picture needs to be placed exactly in the lower right of our page. How can this be achieved? Actually, it's quite simple. We know the X and Y coordinates of our page, namely 210 mm and 285 mm. So you can enter these values in "X-Pos" and "Y-Pos", but wait! Not so fast. Before you do that, first change the Basepoint of our object. When you set 0.000 values for our background shape, the values were for the upper left of the page. But our image will have to align to our lower right page margins, so we change the Basepoint to lower right before we enter the X and Y values. Also, fix the size of our image frame by locking it:</p>

-</p><p>To make our design a bit more stylish, let's add an edited copy of it. We won't see much of it, just a small stripe on the left. Use <i>Item > Multiple Duplicate</i> for this operation, because it allows us to enter precise numbers for horizontal and vertical shift. We need one copy, and for "Horizontal Shift", insert -6mm, as you want to place the copy on the left of the cover image:

<h2>Step Three: Adding Text</span></h2>
<p>Next, let's tell our audience who the hero in the image is. For that purpose, create a text frame by clicking on the Text Frame icon in the toolbar or by pressing the T key – surely you're seeing this pattern now. You can create this frame by dragging, just as you did with the shape. It should be big enough to contain the text as shown below. Then double-click on the text frame and type REMBRANDT. Next, click somewhere else on screen and select the text frame again by clicking on it (single click).
-</p><p>Open the Properties Palette (F2) and open the "Text" tab. In the font selector choose the "Gentium" font, set the font size to 97 pt and choose the text color "White" for Rembrandt's name. The result should look like this:</p>

-</p><p>So far, our cover looks ok, but a bit boring. Time to add some tasteful features. Historical facts are on our side when we try to accomplish our task: Rembrandt was the man's (admittedly uncommon) first name, while his surname was "van Rijn". So create another text frame, double-click and type VAN RIJN. Choose the same font and the same font size as in the first text frame, but instead of white select "Pink2". "What?" you say, "Pink?". Rembrandt would shoot you on the spot!" Sure he would, if he wouldn't have seen where we're going with this, and we're not finished yet. Switch to the "Color" tab and set "Shade" to 50% and "Opacity" to 20%. Better now? I told you so, and even Rembrandt is happy with the result – you can almost see him smile.

Here's a design tip: notice how pleasing this looks, even though we are using different colors and sizes, when we use the same font for all these text elements.</p>

Make sure the fill color of the image frame is set to "None", because we are going to import an image with a transparent background. Then, as with our first image, we import the icon via right-click > <i>Get Image</i>. To prevent the icon's colors from interfering with the colors chosen for our layout, open the Image Effects dialog as explained in Step Two. Setting the image to "Greyscale" and raising the contrast makes sure the logo won't "disappear", and at the same time it won't clash with the rest of our colors.</p>
