If I break linked frames, will there be any chance to the appearance of the document? I ask this because in a few of my pages, I had a second text frame on top of the first text frame, and the second set of text frames on those pages all had to be linked for the text to line up with the text in my first set of text frames. I am concerned about possible alignment issues.
if your book has some logical sections, i would split the frames between them. as there's no easy way, the best solution might be to begin at the end of the book and work backwards:
- select the last section
- cut it out (ctrl +x)
- open the chain of the text frames
- paste the section in the first frame of the empty chain
- repeat this steps with every section…
…and finally check all the sections (text chains) about
'shifted' layouts and text overflow.
your document will be processed faster and the danger of layout confusions will be reduced to one section for every changes you make somewhere…
…if I open it with 1.5 and permanently stay with 1.5? I have backup copies should anything go wrong, so I think it's worth a try.
if you don't know scribus1.5, you may better stay with 1.4.
i wouldn't recommend the step to 1.5 in the middle of a big project. if you
'kill' your document in some way, you may lose a whole lot of your layout work…
