[scribus] Newbie problems

[Jenny Jones]

Hi,

Have recently dowloaded Scribus and am endeavouring to develop a one page poster.  My problem is that whatever I create on the story editor is rarely updated on the document.  After two hours have managed to get one small text box with the right font, colour and text, but the other just refuses to update.  I've ended up with one line in miniscule print and the others in larger print, but the font isn't coming across at all even tho I'm using Ctrl A to highlight the whole page.

Help.
