 <h1> Scribus Quick Start Guide</h1>
 <p>Before we start explaining Scribus in depth, it might be useful to get a &ldquo;feeling&rdquo; for the way Scribus works. For that purpose, you can see how a simple front page of a magazine for an imaginary Rembrandt exhibition is being created. If you want to follow the description provided here, you need:

-</p><p>For our cover page we will choose a Single Page layout. Set the Page Size to &ldquo;Custom&rdquo; and change the default value for height to 285 mm. This is going to be about the same as US Letter size. The cover page won't need any margins, so that we use 0 mm as the value for all page margins. Leave the rest of the default settings as they are.

Yes, you're reading correctly, pressing S doesn't mean anything will be &ldquo;typed&rdquo; on the page. To type, you need a special environment called text frame, as you will see below. In this case, we need a shape, thus the keyboard S command.
