<snip> For this reason, a multicolumn text frame is better than a monocolumn text frame, </snip>
Thank you to Lois and Ron. I had no Idea of the issues that others face in creating complex and changeable documents. This is for me a significant learning curve. It further showed me that Scribus is indeed a competent application. Yes I have found that rows and sizeable gaps would be handy, tried tables but used empty text wrapped image frames, which is as you say, time consuming. I had not considered it in the way you indicate. I appreiate your discussion and explanation. Roger
