 <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:

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.
