I was afraid there was no way to print them. And, what I fear is, the online documentation won't be too comprehensive. :-(<br><br>Hell, no manual or help documentation is comprehensive anymore. :-( I really wish for 20 years ago when vendors wrote and supplied really good manuals. Seems like developers, all across the board, and now beginning to rely on other users like yourself to provide support that rightfully should come from the developer. Open Source falls in kind of a grey area, though.<br>
<br>Even MS's support is going downhill fast. As a home user, there used to be a clear link to their knowledge base articles, but I have yet to find a link to them since they revamped their system. Possibly a contributing factor to the rise in Mac and Linux use.<br>
<br>That's kind of a bummer on the vertical justification in a frame. But, probably something the Scribus programmers should address. The Calamus program I had on my Atari could do it. And, I bought the last copy in 1998. But, it's a high dollar product and way overkill for my needs. If one of my Atari's was actually set up and running, I would have used it. :-)<br>
<br>Now, to see how long it takes to get this posted. With the first post, the mailing list said my message had to wait for moderator approval because I wasn't a member. A member of what? I'm subscribed to the mailing list a couple months ago, and I can't find anything on the Scribus website that specifically says I have to "join here to be a member". I've looked and read, but can't find the answer.<br>
<br>Nor can I find a "Contact Us" button for users to use. In my web design class, you were marked down for not having that button on your homework. But Scribus isn't the only site without easy to find contact use buttons. More and more sites are this way, but it seems that sites where the original product was originally Linux based are the worst. :-(<br>
<br>Sorry folks, I do get on a soap box at times. :-) Just tired of so many developers and web sites being less than helpful.<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 28, 2011 at 10:07 AM, Gregory Pittman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gregp_ky@yahoo.com">gregp_ky@yahoo.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I'm starting my first project, and it's very simple. But before I get into<br>
it very far, a couple of really basic questions.<br>
<br>
I'm running Scribus 1.3.9 on an Intel Mac, OS X 10.6.6 Snow Leopard. But, I<br>
also have a Windows XP Pro and Vista Ultimate computers available to me.<br>
And someday, Ubuntu Linux.<br>
<br>
1. Is there available somewhere, a program that will let me print the<br>
entire online help pages? I could open and print each URL, but that sure<br>
does take a long time to do it manually.<br>
</blockquote></div>
No, not really.<br>
The main thing I would suggest is to scan through the pages and see which ones are really needed. I would think that mostly those in Scribus Basics will be the ones you will actually need and use. Once you point your browser (outside of Scribus) to the correct directory, you should be able to open the various files in tabs to speed up the process.<div class="im">

<br>
My knowledge of Linux terminology is very minimal at this point, so I would<br>
appreciate it if those who reply try to do "English for Dummies"!!! LOL<br>

Uh, yeah.<div class="im"><br>

2. Is there a way to vertically justify text in a text frame?<br>
</blockquote>
<br></div>
No. This is still a manual operation. So far has proven hard to implement, considering the frames environment of Scribus. If you are not making the border of the frame visible, the frame space is rather arbitrary.<br>
AFAIK, when you consider the variables of font size, linespacing, and so forth, Scribus doesn't really know how much space there is below several lines of text.<br>
