[scribus] Two Questions

[Ian Whitfield]

Thanks Greg!!!

Found the 'Image Tools' in 1.4.8 - Works 100%!!

But can not get the Text Annotation Icon to do anything!! I've tried 
every combination of steps I can think of but nothing happens??? Maybe 
it's because I'm on a different Linux "flavour" to you or it was not 
implemented in the Scribus version 1.4.8 on PClinuxOS? (Or I'm stupid!!)

It's exactly what I'm looking for for a project I have to do next year. 
I will post to the PClinuxOS Repo and ask them to update us to the 
latest version of Scribus and try again.

Thanks a lot!!

In my 1.4.6 on Fedora, Text Annotation is an icon all the way to the right of the toolbar. It looks something like a piece of manila paper. Click on it to be able to create you text annotation. Essentially, it's a special text frame which only shows up in the PDF when you click on the space where it is on the page. One of the things you may have to work around is that, in the final PDF, a small icon appears (at least in Adobe Reader) where the annotation is.
