Title: Internal Text Editor appear disabled
Post by: agilulfo on March 18, 2025, 09:45:36 AM
I am new in Scibus. I have installed Scribus on Linux Debian version 1.5.8 and on Windows 10 version 1.6.3 but in both the command "Internal Editor" are disabled.
I can't insert text into new document and I can't edit text in uploaded document.
Some ideas!

The "internal editor" is hardly used today, double click on a text frame and you can enter and edit the text.

But Ctrl-T should work when you have a text frame selected (but without a text frame selected Scribus would not know what you want to edit).

Doesn't work "text frame selected".
I discovered that it is not even possible to import text file (libreoffice odt, word doc-docx, txt) but only vector files (pdf, corel draw, libreoffice draw, adobe illustrator, etc).
Why?

ehm ehm...

in scribus, you put text in text frames.

and you have to create the text frames before you can do anything with text.

may i suggest you, that you look at a tutorial first?
if possible, one that teaches the "in frame" editing and not the "internal editor".

Because you are using the wrong function.

Create a text frame. Right click and select Get text. Then you can import odt, word, txt etc into the text frame.
