Hello,<br><br>I too have had problems with page numbering. I have used scribus for 2 novels. This first I was very new to scribus for the first novel so it was really trial and error. I have just finished a second book for 383 pages. I think i had to create about a dozen master pages. I too had problems when I inserted pages where I did not want page numbers to appear. This threw off my master pages and the odd master was on the even and vice versa.<br>
<br>While I could insert double blank pages, it causes the book to look uneven. ie why is there a blank page all of a sudden. Plus a commercial printer charges per page so it also cost me money.<br><br>I really like scribus overall but admit this has been a real issue for me.<br>
<br>Thanks, Mary<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Oct 11, 2012 at 9:12 AM, Gregory Pittman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gpittman@iglou.com" target="_blank">gpittman@iglou.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

</div></div>This sounds like a job for a script. Aside from assigning a different<br>
Master Page, AFAIK you should just be shifting the page's contents left<br>
or right.<br>
<br>
A script would first make a list of all objects on the page, then one by<br>
one shift the X-Pos left or right according to user choice by a<br>
specified amount.<br>
<br>
If there is some other layout issue, there is the "Unflip" script on the<br>
wiki, which probably still works:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Un-Flip_all_Selected_Items" target="_blank">http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Un-Flip_all_Selected_Items</a><br>
<br>
since sometimes the layout needs to be different depending on whether<br>
the page is Right or Left.<br>

PS: I'll try playing around a bit later today. I think this should be a<br>
very simple script to write.<br>
