These are great tutorials

Your tutorials are helping to answer some of the questions I have about Scribus. Thank you.

Very easy to understand and well explained tutorials.

Thank you.

The videos have been very helpful in getting started with OpenOffice. I like the way each gets right into the specific task and working examples.

Hello, this was good practical how to making relations. Thanks.

Very useful indeed ! Thank you.

Dai -- just not clear. However, this is no matter of concern because I have only watched it once. I usually need to go over a procedure several times in order to remember the proper of sequence. In other words it is still too early for me to have formed an opinion regarding this video. SECOND WATCHING - LOOKS VERY GOOD - THANKS. I WAS EXPECTING A MINIMUM OF 5 WATCHINGS IN ORDER TO GET IT FIGURED OUT. THANKS.

Great videos!. They are the first thing i turn to if I've forgotten how to do something.

thank you..your the man!!

good, I like it

Thanks a lot for your videos :o) They're really easy to understand and straight to the point. I found them really useful :o)

nice to learn easy

thank you for teach nice

Thanks ever so much for taking the time to share your knowledge. Got me going very quickly with the basics.

It is far simpler than I thought to get the basic report. There are other things a report can do, e.r. calculations, which would be nice to see a video on as a second in a series. Thank you for your work.

Hello - your Scribus Tutorial series by Dai has been a tremendous help to me, but I have a problem. Having put page numbers successfully on all the pages of a 48-page booklet, most of them are now covered up because I have put coloured overlays etc. on many of the pages. What can I do about this please? Is there a way of getting the page numbers to show through the coloured backgrounds?

Also is there a forum I could join in which I can ask this kind of question and/or find answers about producing a magazine in Scribus?

Hoping desperately to hear from you.

Thank you!

Glad to see a how-to on Open Office. It's much easier to watch someone do it, than to search through the help files.

Great videos.Thanks

GREAT ! very HELPFULL!

Good intro!

I find these scribus video tutorials really easy to understand. It has been very useful for me.

Just getting started You are giving more examples than I need but when you get to a topic that troubles me I'm sure I'll appreciate the level of detail.

Good one Dai.

thanks for the shared folders tutorial for virtual box. it worked exactly as you showed (including the glitch you showed) on my osx system. thanks for making my life easier

great, thanks so much!

Well done Dai. Nice easy introduction to the tool.

Your video tutorial was EXTREMELY helpful in creating combo box control for Open Office Base. Thanks very much

Really a good inroduction to Scribus. I hope the rest of your video tutorial will be just as excellent.

Dai,

Thank you! Wow, I just spent 2 hours trying to figure out how to share files/folders in VirtualBox. on my own. Then I finally found your videos --- that made it a snap!

Thanks,

Very nice. Thank you.

It seems you are replacing 'type' with a selection from the other table? I'll have to try this. Right now I can't seem to go from 'design Form' to 'use' form - actually enter data into it and create records... must have missed something... :-(

Thanks for the help.

very informative and clear

Great teaching. This one, #9, could be louder.

I love using your videos to learn Scribus! Your descriptions are easy to understand and you are answering the questions I have about the software. Thank you!

thanks for your help, apreciate man, really worked here. keep it up

Thanks for the video tutorial on making Scribus Calendars! You gave the basic steps so I could make my own without difficulty.

great intro... on to the next session!

Hi Dai,

Thank you very much your video help resolve my issues with both the tables and the forms. Keep up the good work

George

Nice work! Will use it as an add-on to a course I'm teaching.

presented in a very easy way to understand

Very helpful tutorial for a computer illiterate like myself.Of course it will require my going over it several times,just to get it right.Thank you for your help Dai.

Thanks this is helpful. I was wondering how to do this just the other day.

Dai! This tutorial was excellent! I am so glad that I found it. I have a couple of questions...

-Scribus supports CMYK, is there a way to set it up as so in the Preferences?

-do you know of any programs that will convert pictures to 300dpi and also the pictures from RGB to CMYK?

I will refer to this Scribus tutorial often :-)

Thanx for those great lessons!

Looks like a very good introduction of the program to a newbie like me. Thanks!

An excellent basic description of report builder.

I would love to see a similar one using the later Sun Report Builder, particularly including how to use graphics as a background (if it can be done)

Best Regards

Pete

Exc. good

useful

so far, so good 2

so far, so good

Informative - but you seem to stumble your way through it.

Earlier user of Superbase. Now forced to find a simple solution for relation-database.

Dai - good vids. Get yourself on the roster of DemandMedia, maybe you can get paid for your work.

nice work, thanks.

Well done! It is refreshing to have someone take the trouble to provide video instruction.

saved me some big headaches with your demo of dvdstyler thank you

Hey, I really like you database videos. You make it clear and easy to follow.

very helpful

e supervideo

Excellent explanation of how Scribus works, thank you.

The best i can say is "THANK YOU VERY MUCH" and its a great labor.

Especially useful for newbs (like me). I'll be back for more!

This is great. You are doing a great job. I shall study more of this. It is appreciated

Great intro, Thanks a million!!!

Found your tutorials very helpful and informative. Thank you. Feel more confident about using Base.

Have previously used Pagemaker, but this looks just as good with the helpful tutorials.

thanks for the help!

I have viewed this before and come back to it as a reference. This whole Scribus series by Dia is very helpful.

Hi Dai, your tuts are great. I work in Employment and have referred people to your website. Keep up the good work. If you are ever in California drop me a note.

Thank you. Top Notch.

excellent,learning was fast and efficient

Just what I needed. Many thanks.

7-zip is good and easy to use

Dai - thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make these helpful and informative lessons, have really learned a lot from watching your video tutorials. Recently I volunteered to compose our woodturning clubs' newsletter and am finding your video lessons SO very helpful in helping me navigate through Scribus. Thank you - thank you - THANK YOU!

PS, Ilove the way you say okie doke at the beginning of each lesson :)

Most useful, thanks

I'm new to Scribus and was frustrated trying to make a calendar. Your tutorial answered all my questions plus some I hadn't figured out to ask yet. Thank you.

all helpful

Thanks for this.

I like the way you present. Your pace is just right.

Thanks. This was very helpful. This part wasn't easy to find in the manual so I saved time. Thanks.

So far this has been well done, easy to follow and useful. Thanks!

once again Dai thanks a million

great stuff this is thanks

Excellent videos, Dai. Thanks and well done.

great video, very helpfull

Dai, thank you for the free and detailed lessons. Very helpful so far!

Thanks for your video's Dai

I really like what you have to say and would like to see part 2

Big help

whole series very good

Another good video

Thanks a lot Dai. These series of video was really useful and helpful for someone like me withou any previous experience . You did a great job. please keep going.

Good pace, mentions the important things and I feel able to start using scribus

I've only watched part 1 but I think I already see what was stumping me...I'll find out in part 2. If I'm right, then thanks!! :)

Very useful and well described thanks

Thanks! It worked for me.

thanks very much. slowly coming to terms with creating PDF forms

Does the trick!

Thank you heaps. Easy to follow and worked first time. You definitely will get my vote.

Very good tutorials! There's not much video on the use of base. I think yours are the best! I just hope that you add more detailed descriptions on the data types.

Thanks for the simple video. Had fun watching it and learning. :)

Thank you for the tutorial

its great, thanks it helps me a lot

A very useful tutorial! Thank you for preparing this; I'm sure it will save me a lot of time in the future.

Not only are your tutorials good, but the Openoffice Base ones are the best I have found on starting to use Base. After much searching your tutorials where the only ones to help me move from Access to Base as well as learn some new things.

This is the first video that I have watched. It is excellent. Just what I was looling for. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with everyone.

Thank you! That was really helpful. You are so clear and patient!!!

Thanks, great tutorial!! I have written, and am just beginning to create a children's book from scratch for publishing myself. I am hoping that this program will help me do that. Thank you again!! Lyn

Thank you so much. Hope to learn a lot more soon.

so far so good

Good Introduction, I find the speed slow, could move quicker.

Great job

GOOD!

Great Tutorials. I can't wait to watch the rest of them. I've been trying to figure out how to use Base on my own. Not easy.

Useful

Very useful. As a total newbie to virtualization (on the Mac), I found that this was clear and simple and easily extendible to my own experience. Thank you.

Thanks for your VideoTuts ... it helped me so much! Thanks a lot

Dai thanks a lot. This tutorial is great..

i also wanna add music to the menu is this possible? cuz everythign else i love but i need the menu music the silence makes me sad

Your how to videos on Scribus are REALLY helping me so much because I find it so much easier to follow a VISUAL example rather than just read a manual. Thank you SOOOOO much!

Your how to videos on Scribus are REALLY helping me so much because I find it so much easier to follow a VISUAL example rather than just read a manual. Thank you SOOOOO much!

good, simple advice. Thanks !

This video of the pool balls was very helpful. I will try to apply technique to make a snow man. Thank you and keep up the great work!

I think he made an honest effort. He seems to care about what he's doing. Probably more detailed than the stateside 20 somethings. Also refreshed my memory to click the file and choose 7 zip there. So he did it. Saw an article in Wall Street Journal about difficulties of businesses saving and transmitting job how to's to the next generation. Also saw a software tester comment that most of what he tested was not so good. So it's hard to be an effective teacher

good for beginners. great accent, where are you from?

thank you so much very good work

Thanks!!!

thank you!

Absolute Beauty! Short, precise, to the point. Brilliant!

thnks for your work it´s a great help for me i saw just the first video but will continue through your lessons,.. all the best

Thanx a lot for providing this tutorial

Nicely done

Very good, simple, and straight-forward

I was totally lost till I followed your tutorials. Thanks!

as a complete novice i enjoyed this tutorial

Recently decided to do desktop publishing - making ads, banners, posters etc - for my church, and decided to look for a free programme to aid me. I found scribus. Your tutorials helped me to get going immediately, as I was able to watch and learn how to make a professionally looking poster using Scribus in less than 5 hours. Thanks much!

Just starting the process of learning oobase. Looks good so far

Thanks - I 'm just starting Scribus from scratch and found your tutorials just the right length, and just the right level with just the right topics.

Thanks for this. I've only looked at vid 1 so far but looks like it will be a very useful series.

thanks for your help

thanks for your help

Thanks Dai, really helpful.

Hey Dai, It really helped. You made so simple...Thanks, man.

I appreciate the instruction; but the beginning was very slow compared to the ending which glossed over the box, text, and image manipulation almost wordlessly! It was the latter half of the tutorial that showed--but did not adequately explain--the real work of the lesson.

Thank you very much. This video is simple, and help a lot.

Well done!!!!!!!!!! It was perfect

Many thanks for your great job.

Excellent stuff, nice easy to use bite sized chunks, Thanks

I won't know until I try it myself, but the speaker seemed to make the instructions very clear in a calm, relaxed manner. Thank you.

Good show!!!

Thanks for taking the time to share with us.

Thanks for going to the effort...it really helped...simple and clear.

Loved the video and your accent. Your voice is very soothing and it calmed me down about putting bullet points in my resume. Thanks a million!

Thanks, this really made it easier for me to learn and use Scribus instead of more commercial (and expensive) programs!

As a beginner with Base, I've been searching for days for tutorials and have plowed through several already. This series is the best I've found yet. Thank you!

Great instructional video. Thank you for taking the time to make it and share your knowledge.

Very useful set of tutorials. Thank you!

Great way to find what you can do with this software. Now I have enough knowledge to start experimenting and arranging the database to fit my needs. Thanks for the boost I needed to understand the what I need to do and learn.

Thanks for a great video.

Really keen to see the rest of the combo box tute however this feedback form is still popping up so I guess I'll just have to skip the rest of it. Definately a shame considering all the effort you've gone to to make this video!

I really enjoyed this one

very good tutorials

very good tutorials

This is really good

Thank you! It is nice to see an example in action.

I found explanations of the options to be useful. Thanks for your efforts to make this accessible!

Cool! Now on to part 2 !!

very helpful

it works well

I am happy with this video. The English could have been a bit clearer. Professional touch. I found the information I was looking. Thank you.

Go on please !

Thank s for your good VDO to share how to do, i just loaded 7-zip this day. THank again.

Again, great. I'll be coming back to your videos a lot for refreshing until I get a chance to use this enough to remember everything. Thx for doing this and making it accessible for people.

Thank you! I've been looking for this solution for two hours.

very helpful thanks

Thanks so much for your work on these tutorials!

Great Stuff x2

Good stuff, Thanks

Great!

Great thanks

Thank you, good stuff. But... what if the data to be entered was a list such as the persons who were to attend the meeting or a list of phone numbers. I can create the tables but cant get the boxes to create the list so how is this done?

I think it would be useful to know why you choose the Types and ID as the fields to relate as opposed to say Date and ID. Also the 1 to Many relationship, how is that determined and can that be edited here to '1 to 1', or 'Many to Many'? I ask because I have not found the answeres elsewhere and really would like to know

Again, Good stuff so far

Perfect so far

thank you so much. great videos

Many thanks - finally arrived at this site having wasted two days as a beginner with Scribus and failing to get "lift off". I would advise other newcomers to avoid attempting to import any OpenOffice formatted text documents. Just save as plain text and do all the formatting in Scribus. Imports just didn't work for me in a combination of Ubuntu and Version 1.3.5. Excellent tutorials and nicely paced.

thanks a lot for the video... helped me a lot..

Your quick comment thing shows up only half a second..... So I'll write you my comment: this helped me out a lot. I'm just a beginner and I'd been searching for this info for hours! So TX! Glad that there are folks like you on the www to help us out.... ;-)

Great set of tutorials....Thanks!

Really good. Though I'm confused because I have read I need to type in net use x:\\... but don't know where why or when.

thanks so much, I have been struggling with this for days.

I find learning from a video far more productive than just reading pages of instructions.

very good stuff

Excelletn thank you, I'm still working on it but it's nice to hear the UK accent when I'm 3,000 miles away from that side of the world

Thanks for all your wonderful videos!

Nice video!

I think these are the best tutorials I've ever seen online for any program.They're nice and slow, and they show all kinds of options for doing a particular task to really familiarize you with everything, but at the same time they indicate what the most useful features are. Nicely done. Thank you!

Good stuff!! Thank-you my friend!

Super Vidéo, thank you!

Still learning a lot

Looks good so far

Very helpful.

is great!

Very Helpful. Thanks

Very useful. Thanks

Brilliant videos, very helpful. Thank you so so much!!

Very helpful, thank you.

Thumbs up, very helpful

very useful, thanks

Your video was agreat help to me thank you

thanks for your videos, that s really useful

thxs alot, i will change my software publishing. from indesign to scribus, i hope i can use for my job. Go to opensource!

Very interest! Thank you!

pretty good. It's easy to understand

Thanks tons! I was beating my brains out trying to figure out from the help files and OOo forums about how to create a simple combo box on my form and got nowhere till I watched your tutorial... if only I had found you tutorial first, it would have saved me a lot of frustration. Thanks man, I'll be sure to check out your videos next time. Peace!

it helped me a lot to get an idea of how to make it happen, but i need to know specific thing, but thank you it did help.

This is helping alot, I downloaded the openoffice but got no instructions on how to use the programs.

Thanks buddy, That was a big help

Vey useful - very clear- thank you Dai.

Excellent tutorial. I love playing with Xara, having just found it. More please.

Thanks for the video, it helped out a lot.

Thank's a lot.

For the totally uninformed this is a gem!

Very good indeed it is better to use these videos then slog through books it quicker thanks a lot

Very good video training. thanks

yay

cool

cool

Great video!

Thank you. I have been trying to figure this out for a while. I am glad to find Show Me Do and I am thankful for your video. While I believe in open source, I find it difficult to work with. I still have not figured out how to open or install programs in Linux. But I am learning and working on it. Thank you again. KC

thank you for making such videos to instruct. They are really helpful.

I searched the web for a long time, and couldn't find out why importing .odt files into Scribus seemed to cause strange behavior. You totally answered my question here! Thank you.

These videos are great. Great level of detail. You're saving me weeks of work by having made these Scribus tutorials-- great job Dai!!!

So far so good.

Clear visual. Just began. So far so good.

I am surprised, this video learned me a lot where i am looking for for months. More of this & I will leave ms-access...once I can write some kind of vba in this program

Fantastic series of videos on Scribus. Excellent as a learning tool and as a reference.

Thanks for the tutorial on adding background music.

Thank you, David, for taking the time to create these video tutorials. I am a very new usser of Linux and I'm interested in creating a web page, so I thought that it would be instructive to first learn how to use a DTP package, so Scribus was an easy choice for me. It may take me some time to master it, of course, but it's great to be able to go through your tutorials and get an pover view of how ut all works, before having a go at creating a page for the first time. Good work! Thanks again. I've watched the first 3 so far. . .

Most helpful, and i did in fact have the same problem with the folder not being accepted at first, but sure enough the second try. Thank you very much, have a happy life

Good tutorial in part 2

Thanks again - I am building a simple website www.paraculture.org but hope to increase it and improve it with help from dedicated people like you.

Your tutorials are really helpful.

this is good stuff! keep up the good work.

Excellent video about a great program. Thank you for the reassuring and confident guidance.

thanks so much!

Thanks that very helpful. How can I get musical videos on the dvdstyler. I am very new at this I go to youtube and see alot of gossip videos that I would like to put on a dvd. Can you help me with this.

Thanks that very helpful.

Thank you - very useful information

Nice and simple

Thank you for helping me figure out this program

Thanks,very helpful.

Looks pretty simple. I'm just trying it the other way around, with Ubuntu as the guest and Windows as the host. Looks like I'll learn enough to do that too. Thanks!

Nice to see that I'd done it correctly so far. Thanks for the video.

great video! Thanks!

Thanks for the informative tutorial.

Could you please make a tutorial n how to make all the fields in a form change based on a combo box selection

Good talk on layers

Helped alot thanks.

Thank you very much for taking the time to document this. Your videos were concise, easy to understand, and had me up and running in no time.

Even I understand this, great.

Bravo !

Excellentissimo

Good pace, relaxed style, good for beginners

Good pace, relaxed style, good for beginners

I really appreciate the time you have taken to help us learn the program from the ground up. I am used to Pagemaker and am hoping to find something to replace it.

Thanks for the walk through. It was helpful.

very good tutorial. thank you but a bit of constructive criticism, it took forever to get to the tutorial. you kinda talk a wee bit too much before you started. it took more than a minute before you actually did start.

Extraordinary. Helped me a lot. Tnx Man.

I'm really grateful that you make the effort to create your videos, wish I had the balls to give it a go ! Here's the feedback bit: You've got a really friendly attitude to your presentation that makes it easy going to listen to but I think you really need to either tightly organize what you are going to do before recording or edit out extraneous content after recording. Hope I haven't offended with the comment and I look forward to the next time I Google a tutorial and find one of your videos. (I'm primarily an Ubuntu user in Newport)

Thanks so much for your extremely helpful tutorial. I understand this so much better now.

For someone like me who knows NOTHING of computers, your lesson was really clear and simple, thanks!

Your videos was very helpful for me. Thank you.

very good. thanks a lot

Thank you - very clear & concise

Well done. Simple and slowly explained. Thank you.

Hi - great videos - nice bite sized chunks.

good. worked for me

Very well explained and helpful.

good work and very informative. pity i didnt find what i was looking for exactly.

requires ti be more popular, more variety of videos on any topic

thanks

easy to understand. great!

excellent video! Thnx

Good Tutorial

You have given me an idea of the general usage of the tool; Thanks for the nice work, Dude.

new to scribus... seems like it will suit my needs. thanks for the videos!!!!

Thank you so much. I had figured out most of the functions before I saw your tutorial,but I hadn't understood the buttons function. I am now going to make even better DVDs now. Once again very grateful thanks. Jim Middleton.

Great informative videos

Great instruction. I've been watching and working trying to get the form to accept data. Its still in read-only mode. I can't get it to accept data.

Very good instruction.

Great demonstration of data entry.

Thanks. I just wanted to say that--this video was very helpful.

Very helpful for beginners

Very helpful for beginners

I appreciate your keepass tutorial. Was a simple way to learn the basics. Take care.

This Forms part looks pretty straight forward. Looks good.

Very helpful for beginners

Very helpful for beginners

Good so far! oobase has had me, as a basic user, completely baffled. I use PCLinuxOS and kept getting a runtime java error. I think I finally got that figured out - only needed to fill in a selection bubble! At any rate, on to figure out... what "registering" a database means, where the heck to save it to... etc. Love the verbal and video walk through, but will still take me a while. I used to use MSWorks years ago and it was so simple... I'll have to adapt! Thanks

Very helpful in getting started.

Great video series. Not related, but awesome voice too. Great to listen to.

Very helpful

Thanks Dai. It makes so much more sense to watch your videos on keypass than muck around with the help files and try and figure it out.

Good lesson. A critical one.

Very helpful, thank you for your good work!

Very good videos. It helps!

Great lesson!

Not bad - combobox sounds like it could be a powerful control.

Very nice - I was wondering about that

Nice - thanks!

Hi, liked your video - I'll be looking at more of them, however, (I guess other people may have said so too), it's Appointments, not the way you spelled it. Having said that, it was a pleasure to watch :).

Thanks a lot Dai for this great tutorials, very detailled and very helpful :)

Lesson 13 was highly valuable in clarifying past lessons re inserting image, text around image, making white space around image, and creating columns.

Excellent - just what I needed. Thanks.

Helped immensely!!

Sounds like this method would assure both centering & keeping the relationship locked when moving image aroud. Can't wait to tyr it. Thanks again.

A pretty good (best I've seen so far) introduction to Base. My prior attempts had me asleep before getting through table design. I was a decent command line database crater and user but the logic of Access and Base had stymied me. I think I understand it well enough to get started.

Lesson 3 very good. It's gettring easier.

Great stuff! Thanks!!

Excellent Lesson 2. Thank you.

Bravo!! On to the next vid. A million thanks!

When back second time to Lesson 1 and switched back and forth between lesson and a new Scribus practice page. Good learning. Thanks.

Thank you, David. You saved me hours and hours of learning time.

your videos are very clear unlike those in the youtube

Great! I've spent days looking for tutorials that don't assume the user is a programmer. Thanks for your straight forward and simple approach.

I watched almost all of your videos about using Base. They were very, very helpful! Thank you for making them.
