Text Frame
A Text Frame is used for static text that will not change or be modified by the user. Examples of these
are the “To:”, “Fax:”, “Date:”, and “From:” text that is present in the general layout above. A Text Frame
is text that describes what will be entered in the field following it, or also text that is common to all
cover pages, such as the company name, company address and possibly an opt-out statement.
Text Field
A Text Field is a defined area where the user will put specific data pertaining to the fax. These Text Fields
must have their name set to match the field names recognized by the FaxFinder
or there will be an error.
Text Types in the Example

The texts shown in red are the field names for the

Creating the Cover Page
It is easiest to start with the top-most item and work your way down. If, as you get close to the bottom,
you find yourself running out of room, it is easy to go back and reduce font sizes or move items up to
make more space.
Following the example, the first item to be placed will be a company logo graphic. The Scribus software
does not have the tools for changing the size of the graphic to be inserted, so you need to have an
appropriately sized graphic already available. This step could be replaced with simple text of the
company name if a graphic is not available.
