Thank you Owen, the "How Too" is fantastic. It will take me a long time to work it out but it seems to cover most of what I want to do, and more.

Scrols, paragraph spacers and fiance stuff, I want to do.

There is a great amount there., Just what i wanted.

Thanks for your help.

copy and paste is possible, but you should set correct frame.

If you try to import a web page, the only part you can import is the
text. For the images, you will just get the link in words.
You would need to make image frames for the images. Since you wanted to
reformat, this shouldn't be such a big deal, and with Scribus, you will
have more ease at this as well.

I wouldn't say it was better than Inkscape for
creating figures. But when creating multi-page
documents with images embedded, or documents
intended for print (like book covers) then Scribus
is better. Inkscape won't create pdf X/1-a:2001
format required by most USA printers. 

I have and use TeX, Scribus, Gimp and Inkscape
roughly in that order. When I need to convert
files from a dvd created from film and with
strange file names I have found Krita
invaluable. 

You can fill up your toolbox with some or all of
the above. They are all free. A move to some form
of Linux is recommended. 

With each product you will need to buy one or
more books to supplement the online documentation.
Study some tutorials and learn as you do projects.

Have a look at the Scribus Wiki. Under HOWTO ( http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Category:HOWTO ) you will find lots of tutorials to do graphical things. Eg, http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/How_to_create_some_spooky_text or http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/How_to_create_your_own_colours

All good stuff but a bit advanced. Perhaps some simpler procedures can be found at http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Category:Images

And there is also http://www.thomas-zastrow.de/texte.php?kat=scribus&sf=colSt.frg 



However, using the right tool for the right job is probably the most sensible mantra to live by. Inkscape is a vector graphics program, probably the best around, so use or learn that to do you vector graphics. Some elements of Inkscape's SVG's cannot be imported into Scribus. 


Good luck


Owen

*Libre Graphics Meeting 2016: Other Dimensions*

http://libregraphicsmeeting.org


The eleventh annual international Libre Graphics Meeting 2016 will take place Friday 15th until Monday 18th April 2016 in London, UK. This yearly event is an occasion for teams and individual contributors/artists involved in Libre Graphics to work together, to share experiences and to hear about new ideas. By Libre Graphics we mean Free, Libre and Open Source tools for design, illustration, photography, typography, art, graphics, page layout, publishing, 3D modelling, digital making and manufacture, cartography, animation, video, interactive media, generative graphics and visual live-coding. The Libre Graphics Meeting is not just about software, but extends to standards, file formats and actual use of these in creative work. LGM has become the place in which they can discuss their projects, coordinate their efforts and, crucially, to meet in person. Participants in the LGM include developers, designers, academics and activists from around the world, who are all passionate about Free/
 L

ibre graphics software and technology.


*State of the Libre Graphics Union*

We begin each meeting with a joint session that brings together all  things that have happened in our wide landscape over the last year. So, instead of slots in the schedule for general updates on each Libre Graphics software project, we invite every team present at LGM to submit two slides (maximum), with a short explanatory text that showcases the leaps forward that has been made over the past year. For first-time presenters and particular big or new topics/features in established projects, we encourage additional stand-alone submissions.


*Special focus: Other Dimensions*

In Toronto we celebrated the first decade of LGM, reflecting on the past and considering the future. For the 2016 edition of LGM we continue speculating and will expand Libre Graphics into Other Dimensions. We are looking for presentations and workshops that explore the dimensions of space and material: 3D modelling and animation, Libre architecture, Open Source product design and other fields of digital making and manufacture. We are also seeking contributions that offer reflections on the 'other dimensions' of open source communities and that engage with FLOSS tools in various contexts including but not limited to teaching, learning, practice and co-production. This represents a desire to address the future sustainability of the Libre Graphics movement, through a growth of the core projects and topics that will, we hope, allow us to welcome more and more FLOSS projects and participants to our community.

We are looking for:

* In-depth presentations of Libre Graphics code-contributions
* Showcases of excellent work made using Libre Graphics tools
* New and experimental projects in this area to meet the wider community, including those in the field of 3D design and making
* Reflections on the activities of existing open source communities in either the production of Free, Libre and Open Source tools or their use

Available formats (times include Q&A):

* Entry for State of the Libre Graphics Union (1-2 slides)
* Presentations (20 minutes)
* Workshops (1 or 2 hours)*
* Birds Of a Feather (BOF), discussion meetings or Hackathons (2 hrs or more)
* Lightning talk (7 minutes, selected at the event unconference style)


*Practical Details*

Submission deadline: 10 January 2016, content selection notification by end of January 2016.
