</head><body><p>Dear Craig,<br></p><p>Thank you very much for answering the question. Much appreciated<br></p><p>(Incidentally the sheet is very wide; it is 230mm x 640mm; cut out of an SRA2 sheet - I didn't dare mention any of that; these othe guys would not have had a clue what I was talking about. They can't be graphic designers if they are confused about "folds" for pity's sake?!)<br></p><p>These are "quick start" guides I do for one particular client. I am packing a batch of 750 right now; they have had over 3000 of this design over the past couple of years and I have done about a dozen different designs for them. Many of them are 5 fold but the client seems to be settling to the 6 fold design.<br></p><p>The client likes them because the product range has a common enclosures; these pack into a common cardboard package; and our leaflet drops in the top of the box. It's the basics of connection; calibration; and typical operation.<br></p><p>But it is a fair bit of text; even in 9pt.<br></p><p>. . . . in the end it isn't a deal breaker. I do a similar manual pagination . . . oops - sorry; graphic designer speak . . . <br></p><p>I paste the text blocks down by hand and line them up using the rulers; in Illustrator. The "folds" were not the point; it was the automatic positioning of the text boxes that I was interested in; and that - it appeared - was driven off the folds. If you know how to do that; please say so.<br></p><p>It isn't a deal breaker.<br></p><p>This really comes down to . . . I get the giddies when I see what is coming down the track with Windows 10<br></p><p>I think it is seriously time to get learning Linux and I need something else to use besides my Adobe software.<br></p><p>That is why I am here.<br></p><p>I want to be able to "own" my stuff. Not end up being blackmailed by Microsoft every month; simply to be able to get at my stuff.<br></p><p>I always said I would "buy Windows but I would never buy Microsoft applications" - because Microsoft did not understand graphics.<br></p><p>They tested their software with a couple of sheets of US sized Letterhead paper - and that was it.<br></p><p>I build big bits of artwork; I have built Gb sized files. I have bust Windows capacity to print them on more than one occassion.<br></p><p>That is why I use Adobe; it can cope. <br></p><p>But I have to be blunt; is this a "serious" bit of design software . . . is it only being tested and designed by people who are confused by the term "fold" - yet alone by anyone wanting more than four folds ??<br></p><p>Is this another bit of software that can cope with a couple of sheets of US sized Letter head paper; but fails to print the bottom third of the sheet if it is any bigger ??<br></p><p>They didn't even understand what "fold" means ?? . . . oh boy . . . <br></p><p>Anyway; thank you. </p><p>Good night.<br></p><p>Steven<br></p><p><br></p><blockquote type="cite"><p>On 21 April 2017 at 23:55 Craig Bradney <cbradney@scribus.info> wrote:<br><br><br><br>> On 22 Apr 2017, at 00:44, STEVEN WALKER <steven.dfirst@virgin.net> wrote:<br>> <br>> Please;<br>> <br>> Does any one know if it is possible to edit this value to create more folds than<br>> the 4 offered in the default format.<br>> <br>> If not; thank you very much gentlemen; good night; we're done.<br>> <br>> Steven<br>> <br>> <br>> <br>> <br><br>Its not. We never programmed more than 4.
