Title: Should "No Style" be used in Story Editor for blank pages?
Post by: Infor on May 15, 2025, 05:48:18 PM
When in the Story Editor, each new line begins with a "No Style" paragraph style.

What style should be applied to blank/empty pages? Should it be "No Style" or is it better to select something else like "Default Paragraph Style"?

Why are you using the Story Editor?

I'm not the OP, but what's wrong with using story editor?

Or do you mean "Why are you using the Story Editor for assigning styles"?

There is nothing wrong with using the story editor, if you really need it.

But, generally speaking, it's better to use the in frame editing and content palette.

And if they would use the in frame editing, I think that they would not see that "No Style".

My understanding is that Story Editor is designed to be used to allow me to apply styles to the text.

Should a style be applied to an empty page or is does it not matter?

There are different styles in Scribus, for example paragraph style and text styles. Since an empty page does not have any contents, I don't see why there would be any style used? There would not be any text frame on an empty page, so where would you apply the style?
