No need to select the content, just the page.

Minor oops, needs fixing.

Current 1.3.2cvs is bleeding edge, in the past few weeks, about as close to 
the blade as you can be... We can only make progress and have any chance of 
moving forward with some major changes inside Scribus. So, track CVS if you 
will, make your docs with it, **but you must be prepared to roll with the 
punches**. I must say, my last magazine was done with 1.3.2cvs and all went 
fine.
