Por favor, Cómo solucionar

Aunque se muestre el aviso de error, esto no te impedirá terminar tu libro. Como está fuera de la página, en el espacio de borrador, no será visible. Simplemente ignora el mensaje de error y continúa con la creación del PDF.

While the error notice is shown to you, it wont stop you from finishing your book. Since it is off the page and in the scratch space it wont be visible. just ignore the error message and continue with the pdf creation.

hi gmvizcaino

there is an empty text frame somewhere on the scratch space. a double click on the error entry will show you this frame.

You can put them anywhere you like and point scribus to them. I have a directory in my home directory (user) named ScribusDocs. In there i have sub-directories for the projects i'm working on. I also have some of the scribus support directories there as well.

Then in scribus preferences/path option I point scribus to these directories, one of which is for templates.

The reason  i do this is to have easy restore from backups if anything happens to my working home directory.

Scribus templates are Scribus documents that are saved as templates.

You cannot take random files downloaded from the internet and directly use them as your Scribus templates.

Anyway, you probably do not need to add them as templates.
If the files can be opened with Scribus, you can do that and use them as a base for your document.
Then you will use copies of you older Scribus documents as the base of your future documents.
As far as I know, this is how most people work.

Adding new templates is something experts do. Or your IT department, to make sure that your corporate work follows the rules.

If you share the link of one of the templates you downloaded, I can tell you more.

Fair warning i'm very new to scribus and not very good with computers. I recently got some zine templates of Itch . io and im wondering how I get them to show up as options on the 'New From Template' menu. right now ive extracted all the files from Zip...Form? and have put them into a folder called ZINE TEMPLATES, but when i try to set the path to the folder i have them in it doesn't show any of the templates in the menu options of 'new from Template '.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@MrB I can confirm the issue is fixed in Scribus 1.7.4.

P.S.: The verification image to post something to this forum is a real pain, I cannot distinguish the letters...

I've opened the PDF provided by Avery on that page and used a free online tool to rotate it to the right.

I attach the result, opened with Scribus 1.7 and saved in a format suitable for Scribus 1.6.

It's a little difficult to do directly, because I'm trying to do the job on my work computer, which is running the Windows version of Scribus 1.6.4--and company policy won't let me access the Scribus Forum. Right now I'm connecting from my personal Linux laptop on public Wi-fi.

Here are the Avery templates, though: https://www.avery.com/templates/61514 . The .pdf one is the only one that I could get to open in Scribus (although there may be a workaround which I'm not familiar with, yet), but when I try to rotate it into landscape mode I lose the guidelines.

Updating from 1.6.4 is possible, but...difficult. Corporate management does not like open source software, at all...but they won't spend the pennies for something commercial and equivalent, either. I had to get my division's Director to intervene and push through a ticket to get IT to install the 1.6.4 some months ago. Don't you just love corporate risk management?
