if you know about another way of defining which text frame should flow around which other frame you're welcome to contribute it. as you've been told (iirc) scribus does it with layers. afaict, scribus does this by letting text flow around frames in "higher" layers. you have a checkbox for it in the layers window. or: is this what you are trying to achieve? http://imagebin.ca/view/SEaQkwyP.html if yes, you can -- with a bit of try and error (in my case) -- achieve by using layers. ciao a.l.e
