(1 or 2 - & gap) this is good becouse ie. the text frames are linked by default </div><div>b) click to first page text frame for select it, right click (command click) and hit 'get text'</div><div>c) make any other formathing (ie. hyphenate {main menu/extras/hyphenate text} optical margins {properties dialog - text tab}, overprint-black if you want color background {properties dialog - colors}. Place images: drug image frame, rightclick / get images, in properties dialog / shape set the text wrap (text flow around frame). Others.</div><div>d) export to pdf (or pdf-X), color space set for printer, give it to typography or printshop.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br>--- On <b>Wed, 1/5/11, LORN MACINTYRE <i><lorn.macintyre@btinternet.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: LORN MACINTYRE
<lorn.macintyre@btinternet.com><br>Subject: [scribus] Using Scribus for novels and short stories<br>To: scribus@lists.scribus.info<br>Date: Wednesday, January 5, 2011, 6:33 PM<br><br><div class="plainMail">I am endeavouring to use Scribus in order to edit a novel of 20 chapters, <br>importing the files from Microsoft Word via OpenOffice in order to preserve the <br>formatting. There seems to be little information on the web about this type of <br>project, so it would be good to hear from subscribers who have already done this <br>for a novel or short story collection, so that I can profit from their <br>experience and perhaps eventually put together a step-by-step process which will <br>help other writers and save time and frustration with regard to font choices, <br>kerning, etc. <br><br><br>Thanks in anticipation,<br>Scottie <br>-------------- next part --------------<br>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br>URL: <<a
