Thanks Greg!!!
Found the 'Image Tools' in 1.4.8 - Works 100%!!
But can not get the Text Annotation Icon to do anything!! I've tried
every combination of steps I can think of but nothing happens??? Maybe
it's because I'm on a different Linux "flavour" to you or it was not
implemented in the Scribus version 1.4.8 on PClinuxOS? (Or I'm stupid!!)
It's exactly what I'm looking for for a project I have to do next year.
I will post to the PClinuxOS Repo and ask them to update us to the
latest version of Scribus and try again.
Thanks a lot!!

I appreciate the come-back!!
But I'm unable to find the 'Image Tools' you mention. I'm using Scribus 1.4.8,
which is the latest in my Repo (PClinuxOS). Is this why I can't find it??
I DO like what you tell me about 'Text Annotation' - It sounds like just what
I'm looking for. Can you please explain how this is done or point me to a
Tutorial?
In 1.4.6, it's Preferences > Tools > image icon on the left of the tab.
As far as Text Annotations, I couldn't find anything in the manual or on the
Wiki. But at the same time, it's pretty simple. In my 1.4.6 on Fedora, Text
Annotation is an icon all the way to the right of the toolbar. It looks
something like a piece of manila paper. Click on it to be able to create you
text annotation. Essentially, it's a special text frame which only shows up in
the PDF when you click on the space where it is on the page. One of the things
you may have to work around is that, in the final PDF, a small icon appears (at
least in Adobe Reader) where the annotation is.
Also note that if you right-click on your Text Annotation frame, then select PDF
Options > Annotation Properties, you can convert the frame to a Link (to some
other page in the document), an External Link (to some other PDF) or External
Web-Link (to a web page in a browser).
