Scribus can be a bit confusing on this point. Scribus ALWAYS work with<br>
"single pages", the layout options like 3-fold only tell how the pages<br>
are shown together on the screen. It's a display option, not a layout<br>
option. If you add another five pages and zoom out so you see several<br>
pages you will see how it works.<br>
<br>
For most uses you should probably just create a 2-page landscape<br>
document and use guides to make it 3-fold. Because if you make a 6<br>
page 3-fold document you will have to impose the pages for print.<br>
