Hi David, Sorry, it skipped my mind to give a hint on that in my previous answer and since you're planning on doing a large document, maybe you'll find the following useful. You want to avoid having to add manually a linked text frame to each page. And the template doesn't allow to put a text frame and fill it afterwards. No problem. When you first create your new document, define your margins and check the "Automatic text frame" option. When you'll import your text, Scribus will not (not yet!) create automatically the number of pages needed to accomodate your text BUT all you'll have to do is go to the Page menu and add (insert) just how many pages you wish and all these pages will be linked, so you'll soon see your text flow. Don't be fooled by the screen refresh. Just navigate your document and you'll see your text. That easy! HTH :) Louis Then I needed to remove one page in the middle of the chain.
