[scribus] linking FRAMES

Wed Sep 16 09:53:50 UTC 2015

Sorry for my bad vocabulary. I got the message about linking frames, but 
unfortunately I called them pages, since I had only one frame covering each 
page.
I can not link the frame on page 16 in the original document to the frame on 
page 17 (which is added to the original document, together with page 18-20). 
The linking icon is not active.
When I want to start all over and create a new 20 pages document, I can not 
even copy text from the first document to the new document. When I put the 
cursor at the end of the text and insert text (copied from the first 
document), it will be placed at the beginning of the text on page 1. Very 
odd!
So now I will go back to version 1.3.3.14, which has served me well for a 
long time. I don't care if linking frames does not exist. That is only 
manual job.

I note that Peter Nermander writes in Swedish, but your system does not 
support all the characters in our alphabet. Feels like we are back to 
Windows 3, if you were born at that time.

Hello Peter Nermander!

Thanks for a good and quick answer.
I found the icon "Link pages" but unfortunately it is grey (inactive),
indicating the pages are already linked. But the link does not work.
On the first 16 pages this linking works, but not fully automatical. If I
extend the text on a page, it should flow visible to the next page, but I
can not see this, unless I scroll up or down and back so the page is
rewritten on the screen. Then the text movement will appear on the next
page.

Regards
H?kan

I Scribus beh?ver du rutor f?r inneh?ll, att enbart skapa nya sidor skapar
inte textrutor p? dem om du inte har slagit p? Automatiska textrutor. Sen
?r jag inte heller helt s?ker p? att s?na automatiska textrutor blir
automatiskt l?nkade.

S?, f?rst och fr?mst, kolla att du har textrutor p? de nya sidorna. Och sen
kolla att de ?r l?nkade.

English version:
In Scribus, you need frames for content, just adding pages will not create
new text frames unless you have the option Automatic text frames set. And I
am not sure that frames on newly inserted pages get automatically linked.

So, first check that you have text frames on  the new pages. Second, check
that the frames are linked.

Du missar den viktiga biten: I Scribus kan du inte placera inneh?ll p?
sidor, det m?ste placeras i ramar (frames). Scribus fungerar inte som t.ex.
Word. Sidor l?nkas inte i Scribus, det ?r textrutor som g?r det. Du m?ste
markera textrutan p? den gamla sista sidan (den sista sidan med text),
klicka p? l?nkverktyget och sen p? textrutan p? den f?rsta nya sidan.

English version:
You are missing the important part: In Scribus you can not place contents
directly on pages, it has to be placed in frames. Scribus does not work
like for example Word. Pages are not linken, tyext frames are. You must
select the text frame on the old last page (the last page with text), klick
the link tool and then the text frame on the first new page.

What I do:
Using 1.5.0 I create the initial document with
lots of extra pages and automatic linking of
text frames. 1.4.5 bogs down with multipage
documents. Then I can at the end of the process
delete the excess pages.

This is for future reference. For the existing
situation you need to follow Peter's advice
given above.
