I don't want to interrupt the discussion, but I think I see now better why I had some problems. By the way, the problem exists IMO only when we let chapters start on the left page (which many books do).
> - ... adding 2 pages and deleting the extra one at the end of the > chapter/section/book is a proven method... I was not quite sure how inserting 2 pages would solve the need for 1 new page ... But by trying this I just discovered one of the reasons why I needed this feature of aligning frames: with scribus 1.3.3.12 linking text frames in inserted pages with the following frame to have the text come into the inserted frame didn't work. Now I tried to insert 2 pages (one needed for the change in the previous chapter and a second empty one). Then I have to move the text of my following frames to the second newly inserted page by linking the frames together. This does NOT work in 1.3.3.12, but works fine in 1.3.5. So I have a second workaround (besides moving the frames) for my problem in 1.3.5. which might be good enough. In the future it might still be handy to have this done automatically (if it does not create other problems which I don't know with my amateurish understanding). Thanks for all your help. Jean-Luc
