Hi all Thanks for the Introductory page, it has great merit. At risk of starting another discussion thread, may I suggest that a focus for our Manual be more on the screen shots with text explanation kept to a minimum. A lot of wordage, I find, detracts from the help that a Manual can provide and may generally be understood differently by a variety of readers whereas images are universal, for instance, a workshop manual for assembly of a car engine, few words but great work flow images.
Personally, I learn most, from text that accompanies images, like: " To do nnnnnnn , Click here", " To alter bbbbbb " Do that", " If you have problem doing xxxxx then you are probably doing yyyyyy ------ , this is how to correct it". Seldom does a manual provide explanation of : 'if it's wrong then this is what happened and this is how to fix it' I think that most coming to Scribus already have some experience with computers and have experienced disastrous layout problems associated with msword so they will be looking for similar (familiar) icons and associated explanations on the Scribus Desktop.
