Hi, I'm new to Scribus so please bear with me if this is a FAQ - I googled but couldn't find the answer on my own.
I'd like to import a large ASCII text file for formatting, so I tried to create a template with 2 column style textframes, so that the standard layout of a page was defined. The problem is that a) I can't link those 2 textframes to each other from with the 'edit template' function and b) I can't put text in them when I'm in 'normal' editing mode (ie not editing the templates). How should I do this without copy & paste'ing 2 text boxes on every page? Am I missing something? http://ahnews.music.salford.ac.uk/scribus/docs/page2.html#maquette_crea lists this as a normal task, but unfortunately is for an older version of Scribus and dismisses the 'insert text' problem with a rather vague sentence that doesn't say how to actually do this: "It now remains to let the text fill the inside pages by chaining the last frame of the cover with the first of page 2, and continuing thus through the logical sequence of the document." FWIW, I'm using Scribus 1.1.6 on FreeBSD -CURRENT. thanks in advance! --Stijn -- I wish there was a knob on the TV to turn up the intelligence.
