Scribus has support for tables, but they could not be used, because tables drew outlines around each cell and I could not find a way to switch that off. The table of contents had to be done by hand again. If the original had been done with master documents, this would have been simpler. The original had just one big LO file, so I had to split it up by hand for the import. The text was imported directly from LO files that held one chapter each. Eventually I converged on a layout where every chapter was its own set of linked frames. It sort of worked, but things got quite laggy quite quickly. I tried loading all 350is pages to a single linked frame sequence. Scribus also does not do long pieces of text particularly smootly. Doing big changes (like adding text to existing chapters, changing physical page size etc) can become quite tedious. A traditional "single flow of text" is not that, so there are some things you need to plan for.įirst of all, a Scribus document should not be created until the text is almost completely finished. Scribus' strengths lie in producing output with fairly short pieces of text with precise layout requirements, especially if there are many images. Every program has the things it is good for and things it's not that good for.
