Hi, hoping someone would find this challenge to their liking and possibly offer their thoughts. I'm looking for a strategy for possible automation here. Almost posted this in the script forum.
I have generated a word list of 450+ anagrams of a family member's full name in order to make an elegant poster of their name (large center foregound) along with the words generated from their name in background at varying font sizes using 4 paragraph styles (small, medium, large, huge). (19pt, 28, 36pt, 50pt possibly)
Two things:
1. I would love to have each word imported into separate text frames and later be able to apply one of 4 styles to selected frames.
2. If that is not possible, I am perfectly happy using one text frame with all of the words separated by a space. However, I must also differentiate certain words in those 4 different styles. When I do this with Story Editor, after I'm done assigning a style to each word, I obviously lose the chosen style when I begin replacing the paragraphs with spaces.
If I simply assign NOSTYLE and change only the font size, I end up with strange carriage returns in the text frame.
See attached .PNG screenshots.
BY THE WAY, I WILL be removing the questionable words from the list you may see.
Any thoughts on this are greatly appreciated.
I'm using Scribus 1.3.3.13svn on Ubuntu 10.04
