Thanks Greg, that seems like a good approach indeed. I haven't tried it yet because I'm hung on page numbering now. Way back when I used 1.2x I was able to get page numbering to work, and now in 1.3 I can't. Very discouraging when each trivial thing takes hours of time. The curse of being stupid, I guess. When I started having trouble, I went hunting in the Wiki (again!), and Googling, and I can't find anyplace that accurately describes how to do page numbering. I got the key code CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-# from Craig's post in this thread. But only Page 1 shows up; all the rest say just Page. In my searches, I found places where Scribus page numbering is done with a) CTRL-#, b) ALT-#, and c) just plain # (so described in a Linux magazine article). The one thing I never found ANYPLACE was the key combination that Craig described in his email. I would welcome any advice on: a) HOW to find things in the Wiki (I checked for page numbering in the HOWTO and Tips)--also did "website" Google--is it in there, correct and up to date? and b) how to get my page numbering to work (I already created a Text Frame on Left and Right Master Pages, and on each I typed "Page " and then hit Craig's #code. I saved, and tried "apply Master page" etc, but the first page says Page 1 and all the rest say either nothing, or Page. Thanks.
