</span>I haven't used the latest versions for book length work, although I<br>
hear that there have been improvements in the speed for long documents.<br>
In the past Scribus became slower and slower the longer the<br>
document became, hence it was not recommended for long jobs.<br>
<br>
Having said that, there are tricks to avoid speed problems. The most<br>
obvious is to split the work into smaller files, e.g., make each<br>
chapter a separate file, then export each to PDF and assemble the PDFs<br>
into the final document with PDF tools. But there are other tricks, for<br>
example, when I created a 138-page book I had the main document open<br>
and another smaller document open at the same time. I would do new<br>
pages in the small document and then transfer them page by page to the<br>
main document when they were finished.<br>
