Ehm, do you now that there is a function which exactly does what you want ...? Creating a new doc shows the following dialog: http://www.thomas-zastrow.de/temp/scribus_screenshot.png And setting there the number of columns in the automatic text-frame is - Whamo! But if you insist of more than one textframe, I think this couldn't be a big thing to realize with some lines of Python ... So, there is no need to change the foundational philosophy of Scribus, just to satisfy you. Tom
