I wanted to massage the customer's book in Scribus 1.4.5. So I loaded his doc file into Libre office and created an odf file. I created a Scribus file in the right size and with about 250 pages, linked. I loaded the odf file via the text editor. Now I have the text in scribus. I began inserting frame/page breaks via the text editor. Problem is it runs slower than molasses in February. It is trying to edit all 250 pages at once. So I would like to separate the pages I have already marked with a page break (control/return) from the link string, either from the front end or the back end. But Scribus then treats the first page as having all the text and a huge overflow.
How do I separate some pages from the link string yet retain just their current contents? If that is a bridge too far how do I separate pages into reasonable subsets using Libris writer? -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!
