First, please bring your Scribus up to date. Scribus 1.4.0 RC 3 is 
suggested. You can import your current sla file into that version. (The 
reverse is not possible). Most serious Scribus users no longer use 1.3.3.14 
so it is hard for them to answer questions about that very old version. 
Since 1.3.3.14 we have gone through 1.3.5, 1.3.6 1.3.7, 1.3.8, 1.3.9 and 
three release candidates for 1.4.0.

Just switching to a newer version may solve your problem. If not please 
post again and various users and developers will try to answer.
