<br>
<br>
Scribus is a DTP tool, not an office text processor like MS Word or <br>
LibreOffice Writer.<br>
<br>
So if you type a text in Scribus, you are not using a classic work-flow. <br>
Typically a team would prepare all elements of a document (like text, <br>
illustrations, color scheme, color profile, legal information, other <br>
meta information) in specialized tools.<br>
<br>
So for example you would type your text in Writer and do all your <br>
initial proof reading and spell checking and editing in your text tool, <br>
before you import into a text-frame in Scribus.<br>
<br>
The strength of Scribus is in the total control over the formatting: <br>
Where and how you want to display your text; what size, what typeface <br>
(font), what spacings vertically and horizontally, margins, gutters <br>
between columns, etc.<br>
<br>
So if you use the Story Editor in Scribus to enter new text, or even if <br>
you type directly into a text-frame, that is fine too (but possibly only <br>
suited to shorter texts). Be informed Scribus will not automatically <br>
create new text frames for you, if your texts gets too long. Scribus <br>
will just show you an overflow-hint in the bottom-right (sorry) corner <br>
of your text-box to alert you, that there is more text which does not fit.<br>
<br>
<br>
So if you want more text-frames you can create and position them <br>
anywhere you want. You might first need to create more blank pages, or <br>
use the generator to make several more pages with a text-frame on each <br>
page (for books mainly I suppose).<br>
<br>
In DTP you need to distinguish between pages and text-frames. Because <br>
there could be several text-frames on one page but each element needs to <br>
be placed on a page. All elements in a document are "anchored" on pages.<br>
<br>
You can then look into the important feature in Scribus to have <br>
text-frames linked, so that longer text can flow through two or more <br>
text-frames.<br>
<br>
<br>
Please try to make pages. Try to make text-frames. Just have a look at <br>
the toolbar (there are helpful hints on mouse-over) and have a browse <br>
through the menu.<br>
<br>
You are welcome to ask more follow up questions, as you move along.<br>

So if you write in English, the second page should appear on right side because it is normal text flow for left-to-right writing systems. But if you write in Arabic, then second page should appear on left side because it is normal text flow for rught-to keft writing systems.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
