Facing pages deals with mirrored margins etc. Normally you don't edit more than one page at a time. You set up one page and then go on to the next. By default the first page is a right hand page. You can change this. If you want to edit two pages viewed side by side on a single piece of paper then you set up the document to be twice page width and then divide it in two with a guide. Other software may act differently. But that is how Scribus works. -- John Culleton Wexford Press "Create Book Covers with Scribus" Printable E-book 38 pages $5.95 http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html
