This seems to be contrary at least to the Windows and the old Pages world. I can tell you one of the things LibreOffice makes you do is place all your headers, footers, and page numbering Inside the text frames/margins. This time I composed my entire book in LibreOffice 6.4 and there it finally seems to work in spite of me still clinging to the old typewriter/word processor way of doing things. I can't tell you how many times an author glides over a simple step used by one system that vexes you for hours.
Scribus the official manual manuals#
LibreOffice now has official manuals that are available from iTunes and Amazon that are fairly complete, but still can give you fits because the authors are still trying to wear so many Operating System hats (Apple in my case). Much of the reluctance with these things, both for Scribus and LibreOffice, is that the documentation for usage (manuals) is so spotty and unorganized because open-source software has so many operating systems to cover by a volunteer staff. Since I am not working from a new manuscript I didn't adopt there "Styles" in LibreOffice the way that you and they would like to see. Utnick dissected my file at the time and probably correctly noted I was using Scribus as a kind of typewriter instead of using "Styles".įor my second effort, I have used LibreOffice 6.4 and I note now they have adopted much of the "Styles" working methods that Scribus uses. All (finally) went well with Ingram, until I changed fonts and my whole manuscript blew up in something called a "Signal 11" crash. I did essentially view the above referenced videos if nothing else for layout ideas for header and footer. Essentially it was then, and I think now, that Amazon does a lot behind the scenes for you that you have to do for yourself with Ingram-Spark. I remember back when I was new at setting my initial "novel" to publish on what was then Amazon's CreateSpace and also Ingram-Spark. Yes, it has been quite a while since this topic was commented on.
