Anyway, I’ve noodled some with Scribus and see enough similarities with InDesign—tho’ I’m sure it may be missing features I’m used to or implements some of them differently—that I’m comfortable I can get up to speed with it. And I'd wanted to write a book about book design for a while. So I got the idea to write a book about book design for self-publishers, complete with exercises that lead to a printer-ready PDF at the end of it. I thought that Scribus would be a really good choice for the page layout package to use.<br>

That way you will have a stable version for writing your book, but the book will not be completely outdated when it is finished.</div><div><br></div><div>It is possible to have the two versions installed side by side.</div><div><br></div><div>If you, during the course, feels that the 1.5 version is stable enough, you can always transfer your projekt to that version of you want the features it provides.</div><div><br></div><div>/Peter</div></div><br></div></div>
