Windows / Not showing my directories
Last post by graybeard76 - April 08, 2026, 12:50:00 AM
I am a brand new user, trying to switch from Microsoft Publisher before it goes away.
When I go to try and open a file, or save the document I am working on, the dialog box is not showing me all my directories.
For example, I navigate to my Documents folder, and the only folder it shows is "Outlook Files".  But I have dozens of other directories in my documents folder.  Why is it not showing them?

I was just viewing the pdf on screen, and when I zoom in it looks ok.
I will try to print it on my desktop printer.
How to be sure it will be ok on the offset printer ?

You say it is "printed", do you mean you have tried printing on paper?

If you are just viewing a PDF on screen, it may just be bad "font hinting".

Is it bold even if you print on paper or zoom in?

I figured out what was going on. For some reason, many empty text boxes and at least one text box with my desired text had been superimposed on top of the original box. This was different than I had experienced in the past because I had always pasted onto a new page, not the same page. Problem solved.

You are right, I didn't use styles, it's my first project with Scribus,4 weeks ago I knew nothing about it.
But I am almost finished, and the printer agreed to a few pages sample !
I tried with another font on one page, and it's ok, no bold letters.
sla files are plain text, I could try a replace all with a text editor ?

Latest news :
I tried with yet another font (Verdana 10pt) , and the same letters as with 'Open sans'  are bold in the pdf

Hi everyone,

I am designing a document to print and need it to have the same text box on the top half as the bottom. However, despite that I have done this dozens of times before in other documents, it is not working. I have tried control-c/control-v, and going through the menu to select Copy and Paste manually. Nothing happens. Does anyone have any ideas? I appreciate any support. :'(

hi juanmallo

you're right. unfortunately this is really a limitation of linked text boxes. for this you have to go to the story editor.

Hello, I´m trying to select text from two linked textboxes but I cant´t drag the text cursor from one textbox to the other. Am I doing something wrong o it is a limitation of the linked textboxes? Thanks in advance for your help.

I take it you didnt use styles?..
well at least select a section text that will cause that issue and change to a different font, and see if it shows up for that section of text
