Hello! I'm new to Scribus but not new to DTP. I'm trying to create your standard fill-in paper form. You know:
Name; __________ Address: ________ Telephone: ______ etc. >From what I can tell, Scribus doesn't give me a lot of tools for making this work the way I would expect. At first, I created a separate text box for each label (Name: Address:, Telephone: in my example above). But then I found that I can't vertically align the text inside of a text box to the *bottom* of the text box! This causes no end of problems for me. How do I align the text and the lines next to the text? FWICT, I'm forced to do this purely by eye. I can't use any type of guide lines, because the *top* of the text is snapping to the guide line, and I'm not trying to draw a line at the top of the text, but at the *bottom*! This problem is made worse if I ever want to change the font size: the baseline of the text will be pushed *down*, because it's anchored at the *top*! If it were anchored at the bottom, it would merely push up, where I've got plenty of room. After all, I need to leave more vertical space for handwriting than I do for type... Enough ranting. My question: how do you set up your document so that you can create a document like I've described? Is there a technique that I've missed? Thank you very much for your help! Tim Massey
