[Scribus] Insert special / paragraph styles / pasteboard

[Craig Bradney]

Hi

> I have been testing the cvs-version now for a while, it looks like it will become a wonderful program. Having used Quark before I tried to reconstruct an old document (made in Quark). While doing this a couple of questions came up,

Not sure.. i dont use Quark, if its part of the paragraph style then
this does not exist yet.

> 2. There is a menu in scribus "Extras->Insert special". When I click this nothing happens, should anything happen? I expected to get a menu (dialog) where I could choose to insert pagenumber, non-breaking space, en, em etc. (all those things whose keyboard combination seems to slip from memory from time to time).

Try running Scribus from the command line. I expect you will see some
errors about not finding a plugin. How did you install Scribus? 

> 3. Pasteboard: In quark there is space around the document where I can paste pictures and textboxes for later use (or when moving around), I haven't been able to find a way to do this in scribus. Is there a way to set this up?

Tools, Scrapbook should help you out. Theres no way at this point to
have space around a page. You can send items to the Scrapbook for
storage and bring them back when required.

regards
Craig
