MACOS version 1.6.0 je n'arrive pas a mettre de l'ordre dans les pages de mon doucment avec la fonction déplacer et encore moins avec la fonction drag et drop.
Les pages restent à leur place :§(

Hi. I tried to search for answers online but couldn't find anything. I've a text box that needs editing, and I read that you don't really need the Story editor, just simply double click on the box and start typing. Yet when I do that, it only brings up a Nodes window. Right clicking won't show an option to edit text. Also the 'Edit contents of frame' and 'Story editor' tools are grayed out. I have only one layer, so I don't think the problems there either.

Please help, maybe the solution is super easy but I can't figure it out.

Is there a shortcut to bold text? Ctrl + B doesn't work. I looked in the keyboard shortcuts menu in preferences but can't find an option that lets me bold text. Am I blind/missing something completely obvious or does scribus literally just not have the option of bolding text with a shortcut?

Edit: My bad, it's the 1.5.6.1 to 1.6.3. But yes to the below!

Hello all! I was 2/3 through formatting my book on 1.5.6.1 when hubbie installed 1.6.3 as we hoped it would help with footnote crashes. (It did not, but that's ok as I can manually create them as a workaround.)

HOWEVER: even though my page setup, fonts, margins, and styles all seem correct when the document is opened in the new version, the actual layout is different. The lines break at new points, character kerning in the same font is suddenly a bit different, and the chapters are suddenly running longer, about 2-3 lines per chapter on average. This has affected overall layout in negative ways that I now need to fix: I have overflow issues now that didn't exist before etc.

The main font used is Libertinus, if that matters. 11-point in a 16-point line spacing.

What gives? Anyone know what's going on? I'm really scratching my head whether it's better to uninstall and put back the old one to finish this book, or correct the re-formats and move forward. We'll be doing more books after this one. Any thoughts/advice?

I got a table that acts really odd. When I move it, make changes or do pretty much anything with it, it changes the right side margin in the cells at the lower rows. I can't figure out why or what to do to change it back.

Any ideas?

OS: MacOS 12.7.6

The new Scribus 1.7.0 development version is ready for testing.

See release notes here: https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/1.7.0_Release

Je cherche de la DOC de SCRIPTER pour la version 1.5.8 de scibus je trouve des exemples sur le Wiki.
Je cherche à récuéprer le texte brut d'une publication de plusieurs pages et cadre de texte. Un export qui conserve les styles de paragraphes et de caractères utilisés.
Merci

(SOLVED)

I'm stupid... I just needed to write something in the table. To be specific I just needed to double-click the table and go into "edit"-mode.

In every tutorial I watch, they insert a table with three rows or two columns. Then, they snap that to the grid or guides. Then, they do this magical thing where they adjust the height and width of individual rows and columns.

I can't do that. Scribus 1.6.2 and 1.6.3 which I just downloaded, move the whole table around. In the tutorials, they just hover the mouse cursor over the lines of the tables and they can just move that line wherever they want.

I'm on Windows, I'm a total Noob to this, and I just downloaded Scribus 1.6.3 from Sourceforge.

I'm clearly missing something...

I was wondering if scribus can do a layout for saddle stitch that flips bottom to top instead of left to right?

The pages are 3x5 so the booklet fully opened would be 3x10. I’ve been trying to do this with libre Office but haven’t been having much luck.

This seems like a really basic question, but I'm struggling with getting Scribus to import multiple pages as text as actual multiple pages instead of squishing everything into a single text box on a single page.

For context, I'm trying to format a novel using Scribus. I've been following this tutorial as well as forum posts like this one. When adding my text via the story editor, I get this. Looks great, until you realise this is supposed to be 19 pages of text, and it's just the first three paragraphs. I didn't see an option to have the text automatically overflow to new pages, so I'm not sure what I'm missing here.

TL;DR: How do I paste an entire book's worth of text and have it automatically overflow into subsequent pages and not look like this? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a way to draw orthogonal Bézier curves. In most other programs there is an option to press Strg/shift/alt or something, so that the drawn line will be orthogonal. I’ve watched several tutorials now, but haven’t seen something like that. The only option I’ve found with Scribus is using the grid? Is there another way? Thank you!

So Scribus has form tools for interactive pdfs, one of those is the checkbox. Now the checkbox have shapes to be selected such as checkmark, cross, circle, diamond and so on. I wanna know if anyone knows how or has any sources where I could learn how to include a new personalized shape for that checkbox.

I'm doing a title page, I've placed a fairly dark image over the entire first page and want to changed the text in the text box on top of it to white, but when I changed it to white the text just disappears, and when I changed it to any other colour, it's still there, but just extremely transparent I can barely see it. I just want the text to be white with full opacity

I use Scribus 1.6.2 on Mac (apple silicon chip) and it was all well, but suddenly Scribus started freezing on every action. It usually completes that action eventually without crashing but it takes upwards of 15 seconds whatever I do: trying to save the file, export, add more text, open the style editor... anything really.

What I have done is I added footnotes and then the issue started popping up. Could they be the culprit?
For more context, I have 22 pages of linked text frames – doesn't sound like a lot to me, but maybe?

Any help would be appieciated. Thanks!

Building scribus is a PITA. It's complex (many dependencies) and take a long time. Enter 3rd party 'binary' style builds. Anyone interested in maintaining one for testers and/or folks that want to use more bleeding edge functionality ?

Hello there,

I'm looking to create a bilingual book : English on the left page, French on the right one. My two texts were not put together yet, so I need to bring them together in one file. Can Scribus do that easily ? For example, could I just paste my text only on the right pages ? If so, can you point me towards a tutorial I could use ?

Thanks in advance :) !

Working with FPDM and putting together a PDF form with fields to be populated. I have everything put together, except I cannot seem to set a comb of character for fields the same way you do in Adobe Acrobat to make the characters field the entire text field.

Has anyone found a way to make this work?

Thanks!

So, here's something that drives me nuts. Every time I open the Story Editor window (for example) it can be a different size or in a different place. Is there a way to get it to stay the size I want it. Tired of resizing it every time I open it.

Its like this with almost all windows .. this is just an example.

I want to add GhostScript to Scribus and the only GhostScript version available on their official download page is snap? I use Fedora so no snaps. did I get something wrong?

Trying to print something with colored text and it's coming out in grayscale. Color management is on and printer will print color through other programs. Any ideas?
