[scribus] I'm trying to make a bilingual dictionary - [was: Making a catalog

[Dale Erwin]

This will be my first experience with Scribus, and I don't know what 
linked text frames are.  But I do know that there will be no images, no 
photos, just text... with the possible exception of the cover.  Isn't 
the cover usually a separate document?

That reminds me, I did use Scribus once before a couple of years ago to 
make a cover for my last book.

And that reminds me of another question I need to ask:  I used Lulu 
Press for my last book, and they required that all PDF files have all 
fonts embedded in them.  My first set was refused because of that.  I 
have some software called PDF Creator that will concatenate PDF files 
together, but it doesn't seem to do the font embedding required by 
Lulu.  OpenOffice will do the embedding but it doesn't do the 
concatenations.  Is there any open source PDF software that will do what 
I need?

I can also get the entire document in one file with OO (eliminating the 
need for concatenations) but I can't get a header that will change on 
every page.  I could use the first regular text line for that header, 
but then, if I ever have to insert a new word, the entire chapter has to 
be manually reformatted from that point on.  That's why I was hoping to 
be able to use Scribus.
