![]() ![]() My question is why aren't the new dimensions for the main body text frames updated in the document to match the new master page layout - while the page header and footers are updated.Īttached is a screenshot that illustrates the problem. Going back into the Master Pages, the text frames do indeed reflect the new dimensions.Īlso if I insert new pages and then do a Apply Master Page, the new page is completely good. However when I go back into the document, while the page headers and footers appear as I expect them to, the main text frame is still showing in its original size and aspect ratio. So I use Edit -> Master Pages to edit the size of each of the text frames for each master page so that they all match the new page dimensions. So now I have the new page size but I can see that the page headings (author and title), page footer (page #) and text boxes all still have their original size - which makes sense as those are objects.

Open the master page editing workspace as described above and pick the Normal Left master page. With styles (see Chapter 5) this is really. But once you know how to use them you can save hours of your precious time on each Scribus document you do. They can be explained in just a few words because they are really easy and have just a few options. Using File -> New from template I select the Books -> Lulu and Creatspace. Master pages really are the Scribus killer functionality. When you click away this new dialog, you > go back to regular editing mode again, where Master Pages are > inflexible. In this mode > you edit like any other page. Fairly new to Scribus and am using Scribus 1.5.4 on Windows 7. which will bring up an Edit Master Pages > dialog from which you can choose your Master Page to edit. ![]()
