Like any unfamiliar piece of software Scribus requires some study. You don't need to use a script if I understand your requirements. Just draw a text box, fill it, adjust it , then draw an image box, fill it, adjust it and so on. For both types of frames right click to get to a detailed menu for that frame, as I have previously mentioned. Once you get the feel of it putting together a Scribus document is very fast. I am still learning but I find it an excellent tool for jobs like yours. -- John Culleton "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.scribd.com/doc/24676863/ http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
