Yes it's me, the beginner again. I'm contemplating all this work I have to do that's not even related to laying out the book. From what I gather so far, in order to create a book with Scribus, it's just putting text and images into frames, page by page, is this correct? For the printer I am going to use, I've just been supplying them PDF files created with Wordperfect (just text) for other simple books I already have and they turn out just great. My thought for going to a true DTP program was only with regard to the images. My book layout is simple. It's just text from left to right, no columns or tables or any weird layout things. Below the text will be an image of some music notation. Then below that, more text, all the way through the book.
Could I just use something like Open Office Writer or Word or Wordperfect to to layout this simple book? The question is, which of these programs has the best import features for graphics such as EPS or PNG perhaps? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Not-sure-if-I-NEED-Scribus.-.-.-tf4419995.html#a12607082 Sent from the Scribus mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
