Thanks Parto. I must have searched for it in the apps list, and followed instructions. It won't all me to save a document in a folder, but saves it in the snap folder, and from there it fails to open, well about 9 times out of 10. Obviously I'm reluctant to work on it with such low odds of reopening. Then while in my doc I tried to import an image and it can't even allow me to navigate to select an image. It really feels like an unfinished program. I hope this is wrong, but I can't find any reference to it in other threads/fora and so I am just very confused about its potential viability.

How to install Laidout in Ubuntu 16.04 (Source)
If you are unaware of what the terminal is, please see this question first:
What is a terminal and how do I open and use it?
1. Install dependencies
Open up the terminal and type this command to install Laidout dependencies.
sudo apt install g++ pkg-config libpng-dev libgegl-dev libreadline-dev libx11-dev libxext-dev libxi-dev libxft-dev libcups2-dev libimlib2-dev libfontconfig-dev libfreetype6-dev libssl-dev xutils-dev libcairo2-dev libharfbuzz-dev libsqlite3-dev libgraphicsmagick++1-dev zlib1g-dev mesa-common-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libftgl-dev
2. Download and extract Laidout
Download Laidout from Github as a compressed file and save it in your desktop.
Using your terminal go to your desktop, extract it there and then enter into the Laidout folder. Run these commands one at a time.
cd ~/Desktop
tar xvfj laidout-0.097.tar.bz2
cd laidout-0.097/
3. Install Laidout
Make sure you are in the Laidout folder in the terminal and then run these commands one at a time:
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
sudo make
sudo make install
4. Open Laidout
If the above steps produce no error, we can now open Laidout by typing in the terminal:
laidout
This should open a Laidout window where you can create new documents or open existing ones. The screenshot below I have opened one of the example files, monkey.doc
5. Uninstall
If somehow you want to uninstall Laidout from your system, follow these steps.
Enter into your extracted Laidout folder in your desktop, then run this terminal command:
sudo make uninstall

Parto thank you this is brilliant. After your first question I wondered if parts of the install were missing it might cause that sort of malfunction. I did use the terminal to install it but that doesn't mean I didn't get something wrong. I will work through this process next week and not give up my optimism! Thank you again

I am finally back to this project and I am stalling at the install stage: getting this error: Makefile:9: Makefile-toinclude: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target 'Makefile-to-include'. Stop. I am doing my best to work out what to do next... I don't know if the extracted laidout folder is as it should be but it looks okay.

Oct 4 at 20:41
At which stage exactly are you stalling?

Oct 4 at 20:45

I am finally back to this project and I am stalling at the install stage: getting this error: Makefile:9: Makefile-toinclude: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target 'Makefile-to-include'. Stop. I am doing my best to work out what to do next... I don't know if the extracted laidout folder is as it should be but it looks okay.

when I enter 'sudo make' from your previous post. I was prompted for password, at one point (while I was retrying) the terminal wouldn't let me type the passowrd, no typing was registering on the screen and it was refusing my password

When typing your password, it doesn't appear on the screen. Just type it all out and then press enter. See this question: askubuntu.com/questions/112069/…

I'd also be grateful to anyone who can recommend software I could buy that runs well on ubuntu if there isn't really a suitable app... thanks!

How did you install it? What does "it doesn't really want to work at all" mean? Are there any error messages? Please edit your question and provide more information.

Thanks Parto. I must have searched for it in the apps list, and followed instructions. It won't all me to save a document in a folder, but saves it in the snap folder, and from there it fails to open, well about 9 times out of 10. Obviously I'm reluctant to work on it with such low odds of reopening. Then while in my doc I tried to import an image and it can't even allow me to navigate to select an image. It really feels like an unfinished program. I hope this is wrong, but I can't find any reference to it in other threads/fora and so I am just very confused about its potential viability.
