A couple of things to look at: http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Automatic_import_of_images:_Versions_not_requiring_Tkinter Inside this script is the logic to access and read files from a directory, for images in this case, but with modification could be textfiles. http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Importing_addresses_from_a_text_file This will take text, in this case parsed from a single textfile, but could come from separate text files, then automatically create text boxes. You might create the frames with content, then incorporate into Master pages, or just have the textframes applied outside of Master pages. So, the question would be whether this would end up being easier than manually changing Master pages. I don't find anything in the Scripter API that will allow creation or modification of Master pages. For now the Scripter API is fixed (ie, will not be extended) until a whole new Scripter API is written for Scribus versions 1.3.4+. Greg
