Hello all,
°°°UPDATE°°° found a work around fix, though it would still be easier were
Scribus to have the copy multiple pages function.
Original message (now redundant):
I have a similar issue to JUSTFAX. My book bears the same text
frames and image frames throughout, I.E: the odd pages are more or less
but not quite, mirror images of the evens,
and this pair of pages I want repeated over all 300 pages of my book.
Making master pages of the
first two sides I designed,
I.E: pages 1 and 2
does not work as I cannot edit into them
So, the design of my pages is the same throughout
I just need to edit the text frames each and every page
with different text
So, I have designed my ideal mirror pages,
but now i want 150 pairs, each the same; 300 sides/pages.
I was surprised there is no copy multiple pages tool.
There IS a copy page tool, but for just 1 side(1 page)
In a mirror pages file this pastes 1 page at the end.
Good, yes, but then I have to paste a left,
then I go back and copy and paste a right;
then I go back an copy and paste a left... ad infinitum, ad 300.
Working with mirror pages it seems I have to do this.
Or is it just me being a novice?
I have tried Importing pages but it tends to import 1 page and in a very skewed way
so that the text frames are moved and end up in a different position.
Kind regards to one and all
