This is not yet the whole story. In Carol's old post the workaround is to first design the publication in 1) way (that is, set document paper size = A5 in scribus) and re-arrange pages using psbook(1), and join them up using psnup(1). Detail of how to do it is here: http://nashi.altmuehlnet.de/pipermail/scribus/2003-September/002183.html However 1) is not my case. I need to design booklet that some image spans two pages. On some pages a big picture spans from left page to right page (this is common in booklet design) so I need to design page in 2) way. In my case perhaps I need first to split each landscape A4 pages into two A5 pages, then psbook, psnup. However I did not figured out how to do it (split A4 page) yet.
