Version 1.3.3.12? ? On XP
Learning from tutorial FreedomYug
Have cover page completed and set up four pages Feature left 1 and 3, Feature
right 2 and 4.
Went
to Arrange Pages and found the five pages listed at top. However
underneath is page one (normal) but it is on the left side and I am
unable to drag it to center, or remove it,? and unable to drag any of
the others down.
Thought I would go to next section and flow the
text to pages 2 on but it will only go to page 2, maybe because the
pages are not arranged .
Thanks for any help, Peter.

I am assuming that you have made the document to start with the first
page on the right: "File>Properties>General"? and selected near
the bottom left side "First Page is: Right Page".
I am not sure of exactly what you are trying to do. Is it under
"Windows>Arrange Pages"?
If so, when you pull down the "Right Body text" it should appear on the top
right hand side of the Page Layout pane.? It is a bit tricky to get used to get
used to. Suppose you started your document as a 2 page document and you already
have two pages in the layout pane. Now you want to add page 3 on the right. You
drag the "Right Body Text" with your cursor (as you move it, it will show a
circle with a diagonal line across it under the cursor) until you have it
positioned to just right of your original page 2, whereupon it will change to a
vertical black bar. When you release the mouse button, page 3 will appear in
the pane. To add page 4, you do the same thing with a "Left Body text" to a
point just below your original page 2, where it will change from a circle to a
horizontal black bar, and when you release the mouse button, it will show up as
page 4.? I hope that I have understood what you are trying to do, and that I
have clarified it for you.
I also suggest that you try the more recent tutorial posted at:
http://www.oliveroot.net/Scribus/Getting_Started_With_Scribus_2008/
The tutorial is available in OpenOffice format, in either 'Letter' or
'A4'.
There is also a zip file which contains all the files used in the making of the
tutorial.
The tutorial takes you through the steps of creating an 8 page fictitious
magazine.
I hope that this helps you.
