It’s still up to you to select the cells you want, before making content or layout changes. Scribus offers table creation, but only in the sense of creating a series of grouped frames. Scribus doesn’t use modeless editing in the MS Publisher sense, as you still have to create frames for text and graphics before pasting their contents, but a text frame can be double-clicked to activate the text cursor within it. Text can be entered directly on the page, but there’s also a separate text editor, so you can make quick and dirty changes to imported copy, while putting together Scribus pages. Scribus has good rotation capabilities on all objects and with rotated text, you can use the up and down cursor keys to move it clockwise and anti-clockwise, a degree at a time. You can also flow text inside a shaped frame and link frames to flow text through multi-page documents. There’s comprehensive node editing and you can attach text to a path for visual effects. The drawing tools are unusually versatile for a DTP, with predefined shapes, a regular polygon tool, and bezier curves. There are several unusual extras in the program, which help speed page layout.
