Dear Tzipora, using a DTP is really serious work, can I suggest that you use a good book, like Scribus 1.3.5: Beginner's Guide by Cedric Gemy https://www.packtpub.com/scribus-1-3-5-beginners-guide/book, (I am not the author) I have used the book and it helped me immensely in answering such questions, with regards, Samuel, Bangalore, India
