[scribus] New Linux User -- Scribus in place of Page Maker 6?

[Frank Swygert]

Thanks Laszlo!! I took a look. Most of the magazines are MUCH more 
detailed than my comparatively humble little tome! I shouldn't have a 
problem. There are some things I have to work around in PM6 as well, so 
learning a few quirks isn't a problem. PM6 will page number every page, 
or start from a certain page, but when I put the page number markers on 
the master pages (the most convenient way) it numbers everything -- so 
when creating something like my mag the front and back covers get 
numbered too. I could get around this by making three separate files 
then merging into one PDF, leaving the page numbers off the covers, but 
it's easier to just put a paper color filled box with no lines over the 
page numbers on the front and back covers. I imagine there will be some 
similar items in Scribus or any other DTP program. --------------------

I think that instead of apparently biased generalizations, like the 
above, have a look at the 'Scribus success stories' here:

You can see what people can actually create with scribus. That may give 
you an idea what scribus can do.
