Thanks. With this info I was able to get going on a "trial" of a few pages for my program book.
Coming from MS Publisher, I immediately missed bulleted lists, and border-art. Is there a way to get this kind of functionality in Scribus ? Also, the lack of per-line interline spacing is a pain. Doing it with styles is not very convenient.. I'd end up with hundreds of styles before the book was done. I need a way to add spacing above or below each individual paragraph to get a good "look". Another thing that would be helpful would be to able able vertically center text in a text frame. For what it's worth, Quark 4 doesn't seem to have this either. Publisher may be crude for some needs, but for some tasks it's great. You can make all your blocks snap together at the edges, and control alignment and margins from those edges. Then you can move the edges after the fact. Riku Leino (Tsoots) wrote: > Jeff wrote: > >> I can't seem to find any way to make them appear on every page.
