[scribus] Tutorial

[Dale Erwin]

I am brand new to Scribus (ver. 1.3.3.14 under WinXP SP2) and have been 
trying to go thru the tutorial for beginners to acquaint myself with the 
program.

I didn't get too far before a problem arose.  I defined the first page 
according to the instructions OK, but when trying to insert the image 
frame for the cover photo, in the properties box, I enter X-Pos: 0.000 
mm, Y-Pos: 0.000 mm, Width: 210.000 mm, and all is well, then when I 
enter Height: 280.000 mm and when I tab out of this field the Width is 
changed by the program to 208.855 mm.

There is no mention of this in the tutorial and subsequent images in the 
tutorial continue to show that Properties box with the 210.000 and 
280.000 dimensions.

Thinking I may have done something wrong and not being very far into the 
tutorial, I deleted the entire thing and started anew with the same 
results.  What have I done wrong?
