Hi, really sorry to bug you guys. My name is r. j.
par? and I have been putting out an art - lit e-zine {RKYV ONLINE} for years
using MS Word for all my layouts.?
I know, I know it is a word processing program
with limitations in regards to page layout.
?
That said I have decide to learn how to use page
layout software. I downloaded Scribus after reading good reviews and have
decide
to give it a try.
?
I am utterly lost. The controls [for an MS Word
guy, like me] do not seem intuitive. Simple things like importing a picture and
manipulating its size to fit on the page seem impossible. An?image comes in and
there doesn't seem to be anyway to alter size. I receive articles, poetry
shorts
stories all writtne on MS Word and would like to import the?docs and place them
over background art etc etc.?
?
Frankly I can't figure it out at all. LOL With MS
Word, I have limitations - but I can do all these things I have just mentioned
[just not as well as I hoped a layout program like Scribus would
allow].
?
Here is a link to back issues of my e-zine to get
an idea of what I am talking about:

?
What I am hoping to learn is this:
?
How to use Scribus to create a document that has
artistic backgrounds with text and other art on top, that I can then convert to
PDF.
?
Could someone steer me to a guide for such things?
?
BTW I have read the READ ME file and BASICs
tutorial that come with Scribus - just could not find answers to what I am
asking there.
