Préface
Over the years I have frequently referred people to the eight part Scribus series from Full Circle magazine which started in FCM#01 (June 2007) by Ronnie Tucker.
Lately I've found a number of people contacting me saying “It doesn't work!” to which I've replied “It does but…” The 'but' is that Scribus has evolved and changed over the years. The layout of some things have changed and others have moved and/or the way that they work has become more 'user friendly'. The first obvious change is the toolbars.
I've tried to pull all eight parts of the series together and updated the graphics. As far as possible I haven't altered the original text unless it has been necessary or accidental. Unfortunately it was only possible to extract the original text from two of the articles – the other six had to be copied from the screen letter by letter.
The first three parts of the series were published in a two column magazine format. The remaining five parts used a three column landscape format. The magazine still uses a landscape layout but now uses four columns. If this is published I don't know how many columns will be used!
At the time of original writing the Scribus version was 1.3.3.8. Now, Ubuntu 11.10 has the current stable release 1.4.0 RC3 although Ubuntu 10.04 uses version 1.3.3.13svn
Note: Newer Scribus versions can open an older version's file, but the opposite is not true. Scribus 1.3.3.13 cannot open Scribus 1.4.0 files. There is no way to convert the file back once you switch it to the newer branch. However, you can run both branches in parallel to test the new functionality.
