<pre wrap="">I am writing a book using Scribus. The pages are 5.5" X 8.5". Typically,
a signature will consist of one or more sheets of paper with two pages
printed on each side.
I will have photos interspersed throughout the book and I have no
problem flowing text around them. However, there will be a few full page
photos in the book and I don't know how best to do this and link the
pages. For example, suppose I have a chapter containing text on pages 1
& 2, a photo on page 3 and text on page 4. How would I do this. I am
using vs 1.4.0rc2.
Hi Bob,

<pre wrap="">Not quite sure what your question is. You would benefit, of course, from a
Double Sided layout display. You just make an image frame the size of the
page, with/without bleed...
If you are printing this yourself, you will need to do imposition, if a
commercial printer is doing it, they should be able to handle that.
Greg
I have completed three chapters already using Double Sided layout but
these three chapters contain small pictures and I flowed the text around
them. This is a different situation. In my example above I would need to
link text from page 1 to page 2 to page 4. (Skipping page 3 which would
contain the picture.) Would it work better in this example to open the
document in Scribus with three pages, import text from Word into page 1,
link to page 2 and page3 then add a page after page 2 for the picture or
should I handle it differently?

<pre wrap="">If I understand you, correctly, you are concerned about linking across a
page that does not contain any text frame to a later page where the text
link should continue. If I am correct regarding your concern, you should
know that Scribus handles this quite nicely. I often skip 20 - 30 pages
where other text frames and image frames exist in between when laying out my
magazine. Just link the desired frames in the order you want regardless
what page they are on. I've even linked backward, though the layout wasn't
well thought out, but Scribus handled it impeccably.</pre>

Thanks for the reassurance, John. I guess I should have tried this
before putting the question<br>
on the list but I try to look ahead for potential problems when I
can. I will be crossing this bridge<br>
in just a few days now and it looks like I'll be OK.<br>
