[Scribus] Saving screen shots for use in a manaual?

[Howard R. Hansen]

Craig, thank you for your reply.

How do I tell Scribus I "want the image scaled to fit the frame,".   I 
found a command for adjusting a frame to fit an image but could not find 
a command for adjusting an image to fit a frame.
