Hi, I just want to say that even though I haven't done any DTP work in more than 5 years, and my overall DTP skills are rudimentary at best, I was still able to layout a 96-page print-ready anthology of texts from young norwegian authors with Scribus!
The book(let) contains text imported from OpenOffice, colors and pictures and even crop marks and bleeding, and the best thing is that I did all on my spare time (of which there is not much) over the course of a week. A big "thank you" to the Scribus developers and all the rest of you who make Scribus such a great piece of quality software! ...Johan PS: A small feature request: It should be possible to substitute Scribus styles for OpenOffice styles when importing OpenOffice documents (so that I wouldn't have to rename my OpenOffice styles beforehand). The current behaviour either corrupts my existing styles, or adds a lot styles which I then have to manually convert to my predefined Scribus styles (which removes any inline styling such as a single italicized word, etc.). In other words: When I import OpenOffice docs, Scribus sometimes prompts me for font substitutions (because of missing fonts). What I want is something similar for styles... -- Johan Herland, <johherla at online.no> www.herland.net
