Hello,

I have just installed Scribus for Windows - thank you for making this software available. I am 
working on a 1.3.3.1 version with default setup. I find that when I enter some text in Scribus 
and then make it into PDF, the text in PDF cannot be selected and copied.

I'd appreciate information as to what I may be doing wrong.

There is an option that I miss - namely - is there a way to export all text from scribus file as 
simple text? I find it useful at times and cannot do it unless I edit it text box, copy text and 
paste into a word processing software.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Warm regards,
