Thanks for the welcome to Scribus. I do know about the manual for 1.3.5. I haven't bought it yet, trying to catch up with some bills at the moment, and reverse the current cash flow situation! LOL
If I find Scribus becoming more important and useful to me, I'll certainly buy the book. I am a sucker for books, and rarely go into a bookstore with out leaving with something. Used books are my real downfall! :) On Sat, Jan 29, 2011 at 11:58 AM, John Jason Jordan <johnxj at comcast.net>wrote: > On Fri, 28 Jan 2011 21:04:13 -0700 > Ken Springer <romanemporer at dishmail.net> dijo: > > >I hadn't thought about doing that, as I hadn't stumbled onto that > >ability in Scribus.
