[Scribus] problem with two columns

[stu seven]

*** Louis - thanks, some good suggestions, but I need to explain,
*** the two columns are produced from the menu columns item...
*** this does include gutters, and there were no text boxes, just
*** the default spaces for two columns.
*** Maybe "lock to grid" will fix somthing here_ I will try that, and
*** thanks again for reply.
