I still have Publisher files from years back, so I get the worry. For the newsletter I switched to Scribus a while ago, and I have not missed Publisher much since, though the first layout took me ages.

This is handy. I paste a lot of text from old PDFs into our newsletter, and the broken lines drive me round the bend. I will give the script a try next time I have a long piece to clean up.

That sounds painful, especially after placing all the images by hand. I had something similar with my little community newsletter, where one master page change shifted everything and I only noticed at the proof stage. Checking the master page size first, like a.l.e. suggests, would have saved me a lot of fiddling.

Hey Bouzzi

... Actually, Scribus does have (limited) import from Microsoft Publisher files.

In the era of AI, you're welcome to setup your agents fleet and provide Scribus with patches that improve even further the support for .pub files!

Now that Microsoft is closing Publisher...

Scribus developpers should enable the use of Microsoft Publisher files (.pub) on this software.

or create a plug-in to convert Microsoft Publisher files (.pub) into Scribus file format within Scribus it self, to gain all Publisher users in search of a software to continue to work with those files they still need.

This a suggestion that could be benefic for Scribus...

You should do it right now!

Tdengo un gran problema, no puedo concluir la msquetacion de uun libro, por el siguiente error,
Cuando Scribus versión 1.6.4 intenta compilar para hacer pdf, me da error: Liberar objeto/texto 347/ el objeto no esta en ninguna pagina/ marco vacio,
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.
