I have been slowly progressing through the 'Getting Started with Scribus' tutorial and have been stumped at the 'Hanging Drop Caps' section because the text will not flow around the frame.</div><div><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">I add the shape and adjust the positioning as outlined in the tutorial, but when I select the 'Use Frame Shape' option in the 'Text Flows Around Frame' and click out of the Preferences Palette nothing happens. The text doesn't move at all. I realize the default position in Scribus is that the 'Text Flows Around Frame' is disabled, but it appears to not operate at all in my copy of the
program. I have experimented with the other options suggested in the palette, just to see if something happened but still nothing changes.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">I think Scribus is awesome, especially as I have never tried to learn desktop publishing before. So, I can appreciate I may have overlooked something that is very simple to rectify. <br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent;
font-style: normal;">I thank you in advance for your help.</div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;">David<br></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; font-family: times new roman,new york,times,serif; background-color: transparent; font-style: normal;"><br></div></div></body></html>
