Hi<br>
<br>
As I am new to this list I am unclear whether I should be separating
these points:<br>
<br>
I have been using Scribus 1.3.3.14 (using Windows XP) for the last 6
months to produce a parish magazine of about 50 to 60 pages of A5
printed (from a PDF file) in black and white by a professional
printer. This contains text, photographs and advertising images. I
have been very happy with Scribus to do this work.<br>
<br>
I have the following comments/ queries:<br>
<ol>
<li>Occasionally in the Story Editor - the Style column seems to
disconnect from its associated text. Sometimes there are no
entries in the Style column.</li>
<li>When Copying and Pasting from one Story Editor to another none
of the Style properties come over.</li>
<li>Inevitably with an A5 page I am often trying to make space - I
do this by changing the size of the text box but I can make
space by having a half body text after the paragraph. Is there
any way of automatically putting half body text after a
paragraph?</li>
<li>I have read what is said importing images into Scribus and I
have had a dispute with my printer about the quality of my
images. Most of my adverts were originally in PDF format,
initially I placed one and in the Scribus Preflight Verifier and
got an amber warning 'Object is a placed PDF' - why is this is a
problem? Also I felt that the resulting printed image was not
brilliant, so I did a trial importing images in all the Scribus
acceptable formats. I then exported the file to PDF and printed
all - the best quality<b> printed </b>image was the GIF. My
printer says this is wrong - can you help please?<br>
</li>
<li>How do I persuade the text to wrap around an image as the text
box does not allow a cut out? </li>
<li>How do I make a continuous underline with no gaps at the
space?</li>
<li>How do I arrange for excess text to flow to the next page?</li>
</ol>
Kind regards<br>
<br>
<br>
