Though feel free to use your favourite Serif Font. Some fonts seem to run together a little in italic which makes it harder to read. I use Georgia Pro Font as it still reads clearly in Italic without the need to alter the Kerning (space between the letters). Choose the font you want to use for your book. You need to start by editing Character Style. Ideally you baseline grid should be 1.5x your font height. You can change the width of the baseline grid from the File menu.

No less than 2 characters after a full stop the end of a line of text,.Minimum 1 character words after full stop at the end of a line of text,.Here are a few examples from my bookcase: For example the five fantasy books I pulled off of my shelf at random all ignore the advice to avoid widows and orphans (a line of text at the end start or end of a paragraph that ends up all alone at the top of bottom of a page) and will end a line of text with a single letter word after a full stop. You can resize individual frames, insert more pages between the existing ones, link and unlink the frames as you like – but be aware of the fact that long connected text chains may slow down the program.To start with I would recommend looking at books in a similar genre to your own writing to create your own typesetting guide. follow with the second chapter in the next frame.unlink the chain of text frames after this chapter.set the cursor in to the first frame of the first chapter.unlink the frames where your first chapter begins.generate your file (with as many pages as you like.).(scribus will create a text frame inside the margins on every document page.
tick the box for 'automatic text frames'.when you set up the file adjust the page margins to fit the area for the text,.
Here's how i would import such extensive masses of text: Quote However, the text is limited to just one page.
