Title: typografie komt niet mee
Post by: VHLHB on July 25, 2024, 04:01:38 PM
Ik gebruik Sribus al jaren voor de opmaak van ons historisch magazine. Als ik tekst vanuit Word naar scribus overbreng dan komt sommige typografie niet mee, zoals cursief en voetnoten. Hoe los ik dat op.

I have been using Sribus for years to create our historical magazine. When I transfer text from Word to Scribus, some typography is not included, such as italics and footnotes. How do I solve that?

There are 2 factors to a successful transfer of formatted text to Scribus. First, your chosen font should have true italics or bold etc. in it. Second, I had no success of moving text directly from Word file, but it worked after converting it to LibreOffice .odt and importing that instead.
Footnotes though, was a manual job.

Bedankt voor je suggestie. Via conversie naar odt lukt het inderdaad om cursieve tekst door te sturen. Nadeel is dat conversie van docx naar odt veel foutjes genereert.

Thanks for your suggestion. By converting to odt it is indeed possible to forward italic text. The disadvantage is that converting from docx to odt generates many errors.
