<font size="+1"><font face="Comic Sans MS">I have been trying to
maximize the use of Master Pages in Scribus for writing a book.
I have experienced a recurring problem which I have approached
in two different ways </font></font><font size="+1"><font
face="Comic Sans MS">in my search for a solution.</font></font><font
size="+1"><font face="Comic Sans MS"> The problem involves getting
text imported from MS Word to properly flow from page to page. <br>
<br>
The first approach was to prepare Master Pages for a four page
chapter. I prepared three of them. One was for the first page of
a chapter and had the following elements--Body Text Frame,
Chapter Title Text Frame and a header at the top of the page.
Another was Left Master Page consisting of a Body Text Frame and
Header. (The Header contains Book Title, Author and Page Number
plus a line underneath.) Finally I created the Right Master Page
with the same basic elements as the Left except using Name of
Chapter instead of Book Title & Author name. I then Applied
Master Pages to the four pages previously created in Scribus.<br>
<br>
The problem came about when I right clicked in the Body Text
Frame of page 1, clicked Get Text, and went out and got the
text. It filled the first page Body Text Frame just as it was
supposed to do but here is where things began to go bad. I
clicked on this Text Frame, then the Link Icon and then clicked
the Text Frame in page 2. I repeated for page 3. So far so good.
Then I clicked the Text Frame Box in page 3, clicked Link icon
and then clicked the Text Frame in Page 4. <u>This time it
linked to the Header </u>and a pop up window says "You are
trying to link a page to itself".<br>
<br>
I previously had the problem and for a solution tried having
Master Pages for Body Text only. This way I was successful in
getting text to flow properly through all 4 pages. My plan was
to create Master Pages for the Headers alone and then "Apply
Master Pages." This was not successful. Apparently, you can only
have one Master Page applied to any one document page. Is this
true?<br>
<br>
Sorry this is so lengthy but trying to be as detailed as is
needed to adequately describe the problem. Again, using
1.4.0rc2.<br>
