In Microsoft Word, inserting a caption is really just a shortcut for inserting a new paragraph with the caption style and some automatic numbering fields already in place. Once placed, it's just a normal paragraph though. > Is this possible in Scribus 1.5.1, or do I have to manually create a > frame for caption text? You need to manually create it. Usually I create the image frame and text frame for the caption, and then just group them. I'm not really sure how I'd expect a special captioning feature to work in Scribus. I use the same basic approach for captions in both Scribus and InDesign. -------------------------------- David Goss, Technical Writer Frontier Science (www.frontierscience.org) LDMS (www.ldms.org) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken Springer" <[email protected]> To: scribus at lists.scribus.info Sent: Monday, January 2, 2017 3:59:19 PM Subject: [scribus] Frame captions When you insert a frame in many word processors, you have the option of automatically adding a caption for the frame?

The word "caption" seems to be scare in the installed manual or the wiki help when checking out working with frames. -- Ken Mac OS X 10.11.6 Firefox 49.0.1 Thunderbird 45.3.0 "My brain is like lightning, a quick flash and it's gone!" ___ Scribus Mailing List: scribus at lists.scribus.net Edit your options or unsubscribe: http://lists.scribus.net/mailman/listinfo/scribus See also: http://wiki.scribus.net http://forums.scribus.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was secured by ZixCorp(R).
