Re: [libreoffice-users] 'exporting' Odt into Scribus

Hi :)
Thanks! :)  It didn't quite work for my newsletter but it may open things
up a bit for other documents we have struggled with here.

I'm beginning to see why Charles tried to find out about what sort of thing
i'm aiming for.  Scribus has a LOT of options and templates and stuff early
on.  Form over content, of course.

I think i am going to struggle on with it a bit first to make a prototype
and learn as i go.  Then do the real thing another week.

I had been thinking about using Draw as a stepping stone - using lots of
linked text-boxes but i think it's going to be easier to just leap into
Scribus from the start.  I'm not sure how work-flow is going to go in the
future but i have a feeling most of the content is going to be best done in
Writer.
Regards from
Tom :)
