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><div><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> John Jason Jordan <johnxj@comcast.net><br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> scribus@lists.scribus.info<br><b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Wed, January 19, 2011 11:50:50 AM<br><b><span

My next project is larger and it would be substantially<br>>easier that way rather than editing from within Scribus.<br><br>Scribus doesn't "think" like a word processor. That means that it does<br>not automatically create new pages when you add text. There is no way<br>to make it do so.<br><br>However, when you create a new document you can specify the number of<br>pages you expect it to be. (You can always add or delete pages later if<br>you guess wrong.) There is a checkbox in the dialog box for creating a<br>new document called
Automatic Text Frames (or something like that).<br>Check this box and Scribus will create the new document with a text<br>frame on each page, and the frames will be linked. Now, all you have to<br>do is import the text into the first text frame and it will flow<br>automatically into the frames on the remaining pages.<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>scribus mailing list<br><a ymailto="mailto:scribus@lists.scribus.info" href="mailto:scribus@lists.scribus.info">scribus@lists.scribus.info</a><br><span><a target="_blank" href="http://lists.scribus.info/mailman/listinfo/scribus">http://lists.scribus.info/mailman/listinfo/scribus</a></span><br></div></div>
