I've been using Automatic Text Frames and they're helpful. My problem
is that in importing pages of poems many are shorter than a page/frame
and Scribus continues the text for the next poem within the same frame.
I think I understand why that is so but hope for a workaround.<br>EG<br></div><div style="font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br><div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><font size="2" face="Tahoma"><hr size="1"><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">From:</span></b> Gregory Pittman <gregp_ky@yahoo.com><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> Scribus User Mailing List <scribus@lists.scribus.info><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Wed, January 19, 2011 2:32:56 PM<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> Re: [scribus] Page breaks<br></font><br>
