[scribus] Question

Many thanks to everyone trying to help.

Following the above suggestions as best as I could, I created two new pages
(L&R) with mirror-image text and image boxes and successfully Duplicated
them downward for an estimated 64 pages - but that's as far as I get...
while I can edit the text on those pages, I can't figure out how to select
the Duplicated image boxes (or the original image boxes for that matter) to
insert the required images. What am I missing?
