[Scribus] scribus to word

[unknown]

Hi
I currently produce a news letter in word, but I am trying to swap to
using open source program's.
The problem is that at the other end the people who turn it into a
printed newsletter only use word.
Having discovered Scribus, I would be interested to know if there is any
way I can export to a word format .
Yours Sincerely
Eddie

You can export to PDF, wish other might have and use it for print

Yes, unless you are planning to have others contribute to the
newsletter,
PDF is the way to go. It is f.ree as well. Adobe Reader can be found
at http://www.adobe.com
just in case you didn't know that.
If you are planning on others contributing to the process
than suffer with WORD or get others to load Scribus on their computers.

Scribus is a page layout program that makes it easy to arrange text and
graphics for the printed version. Word is a wordprocessor, and horrible for
doing any layout work.

If others insist on using word for final layout, make sure that you will not
be involved in the layout process and use OpenOffice to prepare your texts.

If you care about the emotional well-being of the ones doing the layout,
convince them to use Scribus.

OpenOffice is it is a nice cheap office suite
if you want to read the letter Auntie wrote you with her genuine MS Word
or the spreadsheet from your favorite club's annual financial statement.
However, I have experienced creating a more complex layout than a
simple letter
and the elements DID NOT stay in exactly the same place and/or size
in OpenOffice
as they were in MS Word. So I would stay in a like to like mode if
you are collaborating with
others to make a newsletter or some other print item. MS Word is a
hair pulling experience by itself
that will only get worse if you are doing Word to OpenOffice or vice
versa.

Since OpenOffice is open .... err... [circle redundance detected]

Just let every one install OpenOffice \o/ so the problem is solved!!

Problems with layout comes within different versions of word it self, so
just let everyone step in a common ground and use OpenOffice....

No, alas, it's not. Because word processors output - be it MS Word OOo or
whatever program - depends on the printers (the machines, not the human
beings) which are being used.

hm.... u_u

I think Lars and Roger missunderdtood my comments.... O_o

If the shared work passes trought many persons and these have different
programs to deal with documents such as a .doc, it is logical to
convince'em to use OpenOffice instead of M$Word... not instead of Scribus!
If they are using M$Word it is because they do not have a pagination
program or they are not used to it...so, why not type the texts onto Oo
and do whatever they what, with our without Scribus ?_o

Hi,

Going back and forth from one version of an app. to the other or even to
another app is one thing that can lead to slight differences between
documents. But the major argument in this equation is fonts. You have to
make sure the same fonts are available to everyone opening this
document. Otherwise, there are 100 % chances that they won't look the same.

Even if you don't care, convince them anyway. It will mean less
headaches for you and everyone involved for them to actually use the
right tool for the job.

Can you describe the work flow? I just can't imagine what would be the use of
first applying a dtp program and afterwards put the result in a word
processor...

hi,

i produce 2 small local news-papers, each one with 2 (different) others, who
are from almost computer-illiterates to fairly good introduced in working
with word/oo.

(the papers are 2 dina5 pages printed on dina4 - double-sided, so it's
4 x dina5. i mention that, because earlier there was a question about that
format. i'm willing to send that layout to any interested person - call me!)

i didn't try to convince anybody to use any other program.
instead, i collect the articles and pictures and do the scribus-job.

then the others get a pdf to have a look at.

if changes are needed, i ask for new versions or do the changes myself.

in that way, we do the job within 1 week.

what's more important:
thank's a lot for marvellous scribus.
i pity very much, that i'm to stupid and to poor to contribute.

Actually you are contributing by offering these comments -- they will be
meaningful to those wish to migrate to Scribus.

True, but still, people only need some spare time to help. It's often not very
obvious for anyone where they can help out if they cannot code or help with
sponsorship money, but there are many areas that can be helped, like the
exciting new documentation project for one. Even in that case, the most basic
help of making suggestions to existing content, or writing some, or
proofreading etc can help.

I'm currently reassembling scribusrc colour pallet to have all the colours together.
blues with Blues, Greens with Greens, reds with reds and browns and do on.

I note that they are only web safe colours.
Is there a way of creating new colours for the pallet.
Thanks
