[scribus] Using Master Pages

[Stefan]

over your page.

Like it was used in newspaper layout for neverchanging stuff (masthead
e.g.) decades ago. They sticked the phototypeset articles on a paper shet,
then put the transparent "master page" over it, and both was used to
photomechanically create the printing plates for the daily paper.
