It's just this bug or whatever that is preventing me from going any further and I don't want to recreate everything from scratch. I've heard Scribus had some problems, but I've been impressed so far with what it can do. I hope that helps clarify what I am experiencing. The main symptom is that - even after I've closed the "Edit Master Pages" dialog, and then clicked on a regular page in the outline, "Edit Text" is grayed out in the Edit menu, and there is no way to access that option at all from right-clicking a text frame in my document. This doesn't seem to be an issue with Story Editor like others have had. But, I cannot edit text in the actual page itself! I have been making Master Pages as one of the first steps of creating a new document so have generally used 'Plan A'. I can bring up the story editor and I can edit text in the attached master pages. In the Scribus wiki Working with Master Pages these two methods are: 'Plan A' Edit > Master Pages. In fact, text frames are somewhat selectable, but not editable. But, when I do "New From Template" it creates a document, but I am unable to edit the new document text. Considering that good practices have to be adapted. Working with master pages in Scribus is no different from. I created two master pages (one for a first page, and one for all others) and when I was satisfied with the design, I saved it as a template. Scribus is basically built on page manipulation and adding content to those pages. Then, create a new master page using the appropriate button in the Edit Master Pages window. I'm new to Scribus, but I picked it up pretty easily through tutorials. I spent 4 hours creating a document layout for a resume using Scribus. The whole point of master pages is to simplify, unify and standardize page layout.
