Rince and repeat as often as you need to. Sounds easy enough. And I was eventually able to accomplish what I wanted, however, I had trouble making my document multi-pages. (I have not read the scribus docs yet ... and remember ... I'm DTP-challenged.) First I created a NEW document in scribus. Then I inserted a TEXTBOX covering the entire one page. I imported text. So far, so good. But now what? My NEW scribus document is still a one-page document (even though the text I imported fills more than one page). And I don't see how to easily create a second page to the document. I ended up copying the one page to a second page and then cutting the text from the second page. And now after clicking on the CREATE TEXTCHAINS icon and clicking on page 1 the text overflowed into the text box on page 2. I went through the same thing to overflow the remaining text to a page 3. Is this the way it's supposed to work for multi-page documents? > > Personally, I'd like as many translations of Peter's website as > > possible - if space becomes a problem, I have plenty of server space > > and can put the mirrors there. > IMHO it could be better to have larger english docs - e.g. templates > howto etc. Docs translations at the second line...
