@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.

Beginner Talk / Re: How can I rotate a PDF tem...

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?

Scribus 1.6.7 looks amazing. I can confirm that Ctrl++ works as expected just as the Release Notes said. Thanks for everything.

Congratulations and thank you very much to all Scribus developers!

It is pretty impressive that Scribus developers can release two different releases simultaneously.

Best regards,

Can you please share the template?

And tell us which version of Scribus you're using?

Last post by ehbowen - Today at 01:14:41 AM

I'm trying to craft some signs on Avery labels. I have a template to use for spacing...but it is in portrait format, and I'd really rather work in landscape mode. When I switch the template from portrait to landscape, the markup lines (which I need) disappear. Any idea how to make this work?

will there be a 1.6.7 for intel based mac computers?

Its there now.. ran out of time last night.
NOTE: Its using the latest libraries available - Please see if you see any text layout differences. I can release one with all the old libraries but there could be security issues within them.
